Cowaramup Primary School recognised NAIDOC Day on campus last week with a day full of cultural activities and educational fun.
"It was an awesome day, starting off with Josh Whiteland conducting Welcome to Country," said Cowaramup PS teacher Leesa Mathers.
"The Year 4s put on a spectacular assembly by reading out their 'respecting culture' poems and singing a song called 'Inanay' in front of family, students, and staff."
Students also took part in a range of activities, rotating through workshops such as mia mia building, Dreamtime stories, and creating rainbow serpents as well as boomerang throwing, face painting, traditional games, dances and songs.
Artistic works were created under this year's NAIDOC theme of 'Get Up, Stand up, Show up'.
"We had a yummy sausage sizzle for everyone and our teachers versus students netball game to finish off," said Ms Mathers, adding that the teachers retained the winner's title this year.
"'The day is such a fun way to celebrate our beautiful Wadandi Boodja.
"The spirit of kinship and respect is always part of our NAIDOC celebrations."
