Captiv8 - a beautiful story

What has your town got to celebrate? 

A group of young people from Darwin have come together using their rhymes, rhythms and moves to show us what this Top END town really has to celebrate.

Last last year twelve young Australians came together at Darwin Community Arts and took part in a six month film making and drama program called Captiv8.

The young crew, all members on Multicultural Youth NT, came from a variety of cultural backgrounds and decided they wanted to make a short film sharing their own stories about their family's journey to Australia and the life they have made here since.

Friday activities

We have been studying Ireland and this week we focused on St Patrick. We've been reading and writing about him. 

On Friday we did some arts. Maurice and Donatus made a watercolour painting of him holding a shamrock. It ended up looking really good.

Bernadette, Heather and Francelia made some "stained glass" window art with cellophane. I think it looks amazing when the morning sun shines through it!

The original window is in St Thomas Aquinas Chapel in Brooklyn, New York.

Good work, everyone!

Yederr

Yederr is a place in the Northern Territory of Australia. It takes about an hour (60 minutes) to drive there from Wadeye.

Yederr is by the beach. There are tall red cliffs in Yederr. The English name is Redcliff. There is only one house there.

There is a dolphin dreaming site in Yederr. Yederr is Damian’s country. He is the traditional land owner there.

Yesterday we went to Yederr on a culture trip. First, the culture people, Da Ngimalmin, picked us up from school and we drove to Yederr on a bus and a troopy.

Then, in Yederr they showed us the dolphin dreaming site. It was a big cave. Sometimes there are bats inside the cave.

Next we went down to the beach. Edward, Jules, Cletus and Dylan went swimming. The rest of us ate oysters. Matthew showed us how to get the oysters out. You knock them open with a rock and then you eat them. They taste salty and good.

After that we went walking along the sand. We went to the mangrove. It was hot and muddy. We found dead jellyfish. Some people started a mud fight.

We had a great time!

These are my friends we where playing along the beach mikayla took a photo of us and we went back at the top and ate lunch and then we went a long walk and going back have some coldwater pick up a bit a rubbish
