Senior Girls on Skype

On 2 May 2013 Lajamanu School senior girls class made History! We video Skyped across Australia to another classroom of students. This has never happened at Lajamanu School before. We were very excited to be able to see and speak live to the students at Bacchus Marsh Grammar in Victoria 5,000 km away. We were able to introduce ourselves and see what their school looked like. Our girls were also able to introduce the Victorians to the sound of Warlpiri Reggae. We could even see them dancing to it! From now on every Thursday Lajamanu will try to Skype Bacchus Marsh and share some of our lessons with their class.
