Day excursions, discos, basketball clinics, camps and fishing trips were just some of many activities on the school holiday calendar for children in Gunbalanya, organised through West Arnhem Regional Council.

West Arnhem Regional Council Youth Development Coordinator Sharna Cropley said there were many highlights throughout the holidays, including a visit from Indigenous Hip Hop Project which ran a 10 day Hip Hop dance workshop for all the young people in Gunbalanya.

“This led to an awesome community event which was held on July 2,” Sharna said.

In addition to this, a special crew were selected to participate in a separate project, to learn a dance and represent Gunbalanya at the ‘K-Town Massive’- a dance event held in Katherine on Territory Day.

As part of this they made a documentary about the Katherine trip and IHHP also produced a dance tutorial for the ‘Gunbalanya Dance’.

The second highlight of the program was the production of a song and video clip through a 2 –week activity based multimedia program.

Run by Live Vibe Music, the theme of the program was ‘strong kids’ with participants enjoying a range of activities including shooting on a green screen, plasticine modelling, location shoots, colour powder, make over sessions and recording sessions.

The children enjoyed a trip up Injalak Hill to learn about the rock art as part of the school holiday program in Gunbalanya.
