G-OZ PROGRAMS - COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Halls Creek β¨
Did you know...the very first g-oz Community Program was delivered in Halls Creek?
It`s our 14th consecutive year of programming in Halls Creek and we have delivered 56 Community Programs at Halls Creek District High School as of Term 4 2024.
Since 2016 we have also partnered with Kimberley Language Resource Centre (@kimberleylanguages) to contribute to local language revitalisation, including the addition of content in Jaru and Kija into our program delivery.
Halls Creek sits on Jaru and Kija country in the heart of Western Australia`s East Kimberley region.
It has a population of approximately 3600 residents with languages such as Jaru, Kukatja, Kija, Kriol, Gooniyandi, and English all spoken within the community.
The town is rich with natural attractions, such as Palm Springs, Caroline Pool and Sawpit Gorge. You can also find the incredible Wolfe Creek crater and UNESCO World Heritage listed Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park nearby!
Halls Creek is also home to the @yarliyilarts centre; an Aboriginal-owned gallery and studio space that hosts over 100 practicing local artists. `Yarliyil` is the Jaru word for `small paperbark tree`.
Thank you to Halls Creek District High School, KLRC and the Halls Creek community for welcoming back g-oz each and every term for the past 14 years! π
