Excursion: Bilya Kaatijin Performance
Students from Kindy to Year 6 are visiting the Spare Parts Puppet Theatre to watch a performance by the Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company called Bilya Kaatijin.

Connecting stories from Noongar land (south-west Western Australia) to Wonguktha land (the northern Goldfields), Aotearoa (New Zealand) and the Kikuyu people of Kenya, Bilya Kaatijin teaches us about the importance of water to First Nations people around the world.
