The school's Aboriginal Engagement Officer, Kara Clements, said she "proud" to be able to share her culture with her students.

"I think it's awesome. In Dungog we don't have much in the way of NAIDOC celebrations. A lot of the time we have to go to our own communities to celebrate," Ms Clements said.

The school kicked off NAIDOC Week, this year running July 3-10, on Monday, June 27 with its Dungog and District Community of Schools NAIDOC Celebration.

This consisted of year 6 and Indigenous students from feeder primary schools participating in a day of activities to expose them to Aboriginal cultural practises.

Primary schools that attended included Dungog, Clarence Town, Vacy, Martins Creek, Gresford, Stroud, Glen William and Paterson.

Students learnt to play bingo in the Kattang language of the Worimi, learnt cultural dances, saw ancient Indigenous artefacts, made "Johnny cakes" and played cultural games with local Indigenous community leaders.

For Ms Clements, being able to share her culture with the kids she teaches gives her a sense of pride.

"It gives me a sense of pride in who I am and being able to share that means a lot to me. Connections are built and the relationships developed which is really what Aboriginal culture is all about," she said.

So far, the kids have had a blast learning about Indigenous cultures, according to Ms Clements.

"They've been pretty happy. I've been doing the Kattang language bingo which they've been really excited to play and learn. They're just like sponges, the easiest time to learn a language is when you're young," Ms Clements said.

Following the Community of Schools day, on Tuesday the the high school hosted a fundraising barbeque lunch with face painting that the Junior Aboriginal Education Consultative Group organised.

This group consists of students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent that assist with organising various events throughout the school.

The barbeque is followed by their big NAIDOC assembly and another community barbeque.

"We have a formal NAIDOC assembly. We have awards for our kids that have done really well in a variety of different areas such as attendance and commitment to culture," Ms Clements said.

"That afternoon is followed by a community barbeque where we invited the parents and families and other community organizations to come and have a chat and have a good feed."

On Wednesday, the school's hospitality students are preparing lunch for the school with a bush tucker twist.

"Our hospitality students are cooking a contemporary bush tucker lunch," Ms Clements said.

"They got fresh sea mullet cooked in paper bark, Kangaroo couscous and a wattle themed chocolate pudding. It sounds really yum, I have taste tested it."

The high schools celebrations come at a time when Dungog council were unsuccessful in receiving grant funding for NAIDOC week activities.
