Dapto High School

Another successful year for our Young Warriors group, proudly led by Brendan Newton.
This year, the young men have had the opportunity to strengthen their connection to culture through hands-on activities, storytelling and learning from each other. A highlight has been making, decorating and learning to play their own yidaki. Through their artwork and music, the young men have been able to share stories, culture and their own creativity.
It has been wonderful to see the young men grow in confidence, build strong friendships and take pride in their culture and achievements. The Young Warriors program continues to be an important space for culture, connection, mentoring, leadership and belonging at Dapto High School.
A big thank you to Brendan Newton for his ongoing commitment, leadership and support of our Young Warriors throughout the year.

Our school competed in the Shellharbour School Futsal Titles this week. Both of teams demonstrated great sportsmanship and skill throughout the day. The Under 14s team showed great effort on the day, earning themselves a fourth-place finish. Our Open Boys team faced some tough opponents throughout the day but managed to make the final. The boys played a great game and, in the final minute, were able to score a late goal to secure a 4–3 victory, crowning them champions. 👍
