Lryebird Club
Oaks Public School is thrilled to welcome the Lyrebird Club run by Greg, as part of our commitment to cultural education and community connection. Greg plays a vital role in helping our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) students connect with their culture and share their knowledge with the wider school community.
Through the Culture Club program, Greg engages students in meaningful activities that promote an understanding of the rich heritage and traditions of our local area. His extensive knowledge and wisdom provide a valuable resource, allowing students to explore Indigenous culture through art, storytelling, music, and traditional practices.
The Lyrebird Club not only enhances our school's cultural awareness but also fosters a sense of pride and identity among our ATSI students. By sharing their stories and experiences, students contribute to a deeper understanding of cultural diversity within our school and the broader community.
