History SA's travelling exhibition "Vote yes' on display in the library is an opportunity for students to discover more about the 'Yes' campaign. This was a campaign to change the Australian Constitution.
The 1967 Referendum proposed to include Aboriginal people in the census. The 1967 Referendum proposed to allow the Commonwealth government to make laws for Aboriginal people. This referendum was overwhelmingly successful with 90.77% of yes votes cast and carrying in all six states.
Reconciliation Week was special for Modbury High School this year as we were visited by Major (Moogy) Sumner (AM), Ngarrindjeri elder and leader of the Tal-Kin-Jeri Dance Group. The dances were performed by talented young people who also invited our students to join them. The dances represent connection to culture and remind us all of the importance of our heritage.
Basket weaving was another way for students to learn new skills and connect with the Ngarrindjeri culture.
