![]() Thanks to the generosity of our donors and guests who attended the quiz night, we raised almost $10k towards our $16k goal! This is a fantastic outcome and one that will allow a team of students from Adelaide Botanic High School to again participate in Operation Flinders this year. If you weren’t able to attend the quiz night, you can still make a contribution via Qkr! and help us get closer to our fundraising goal.Īccompanied by ABHS staff and experienced Operation Flinders field volunteers, the team will trek more than 100km over eight days, having to conquer physical and emotional challenges. Through participation in the program, participants are also able to gain credit towards their Year 11 and Year 12 South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) under the banner of Recognition of Community Learning. If you are interested in learning more about how Operation Flinders can make a real difference in the lives of young people, Global Perspectives teacher Rebecca Weber allowed us to share her story in this Update about the impact that Operation Flinders had on her life. Look out for this event again next year, when we hope to do it even bigger and better! ![]() NAIDOC Week is held in the first week of July each year to celebrate and recognise the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. The theme this year, Get up! Stand up! Show up!, encourages everyone to champion change and fundamental human rights, while celebrating those who have already driven and led change in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities over generations. On Wednesday morning this week, our whole staff took part in a smoking ceremony with local Aboriginal man Robert Parry from Linking Futures. The school’s Botanic Terrace, with its stunning natural backdrop, was the perfect location and the early morning sun provided some relief against the cold air. Robert shared the meaning of the smoking ceremony along with stories, music and dance.
