He had the privilege of attending two types of schools: a mainland school and an Aboriginal school where his grandfather was a teacher. Phil has many years’ experience working with school children both nationally and internationally and for the past few years has been working as Cultural Officer at Palm Island. Island Dreaming is a storytelling program that incorporates traditional stories given modern relevance by Phil, song and dance, instruments (didgeridoo, bipra (clap sticks), kulaps (shakers), boomerangs) and cultural insights. Through these mediums the performance will teach: · right from wrong, · that all young boys get up to mischief (a story about brothers), · games that children play, · Aboriginal terminology, · why ‘saltwater’ people learn to dance at a young age .

PBL NEWS In Weeks 1 and 2 our school PBL focus is Be Respectful, with a specific emphasis on ‘treat others the way you want to be treated’. Teachers will discuss in the classroom how students can be respectful in different contexts both at home and school. This includes, listening and following teacher instructions, speaking politely to others, apologising when you have done the wrong thing, taking responsibility for your actions and if you have borrowed an item from someone, use it with respect and return it
when finished. Students need to learn how to be respectful towards others in different ways in order to receive it. Finally, congratulations to the students presented with PBL awards at our assembly on Thursday. Well done.
