Yuelamu had a good turnout of around 50 people for NAIDOC celebrations on 24 June, early to coincide with the term two end of school farewell. It was held in the Yuelamu School grounds with Traditional Owners and Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) Councillor David McCormack present for the combined celebration.
As part of the CDRC NAIDOC Art Competition, the school children were passionate about creating art. There were different styles of hut structures from different States of Australia from the senior class, and the Junior Primary created art on canvas. The art pieces are on show in the Council office area for residents to view and to add a colourful vibe in the Centrelink office.
CDRC Community Services Coordinator Tammi Booker presented the awards to:
