Beagle Bay
The Winners!
By Kazue Bin Jalil
On the 22nd to 23rd of March the Year 5, 6, 7 and secondary students
from Sacred Heart School in Beagle Bay went to One Arm Point to
participate in the annual Garnduwa Peninsula Basketball Competition.
The group from Beagle Bay arrived at one Arm Point the night before the
competition and stayed at the beach where the students enjoyed
themselves by swimming and playing.
The students appreciated a barbeque dinner at Mr Jason’s parents
house which was followed by a disco organised by the Youth Workers of
One Arm Point Community.
The next morning the students woke up very early as the excitement
for the day was setting in. After changing into their very smart basketball
uniforms they were eager to get started in the competition.
Both the girls and boys teams played an excellent competition and
worked extremely hard on and off the court encouraging the younger
players and working together as a team. The boys and girls teams made it
into the Grand final with the girls winning and the boys losing by only
two points, which was a great effort.

Traditional Painting
The students at Ngalangangpum
School at Warmun visited the
Warmun Art Centre before Easter.
They learned how to crush ochre
and mix it with glue and water to
make a paste. They then used the
ochre to paint Easter crosses. Ochre
is a traditional paint of Kija country
and it is also used as body paint
during corroboree. Jedda Thomas
is shown here crushing ochre for
her painting.
