NAIDOC Week 2011
Applicant: Singleton State High School
$23, 600.00

By focusing NAIDOC Week in the schools, and including non-indigenous students and staff in the activities a far greater impact will be felt in the broader community, as children's families become involved in supporting their children's participation, through attending events such as the art exhibition and sports day themselves.
