'We are Australians' – book launch

By Rachael Hind, JS Teacher Librarian

Radford Junior School families are invited to attend the launch of a new picture book titled We Are Australian by local author Nicole Godwin and Wiradjuri man Duncan Smith OAM.

The book reflects on our rich First Nations history and encourages readers to walk forward together, stamping our feet to wake up the ancestors and listening deeply to stories, to points of view, to Country.

Duncan Smith has a long-standing connection with Radford, through incursions, and as the creator of painting Dirrum Dirrum and the Scar Tree, which hangs in Radford Chapel.
