This week I got into the office and finished off my NAIDOC report, ready to present it to Erin and Kylie. I read them out the emails designed for each of the days, they were really happy with the information provided for each of the days. The only suggestion was that the NAIDOC Winner from last year was old news, so I will change this to the nominees for 2011 when they get announced and then I'll send out the list of winners on the following Monday.
I had the DVD showing on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but we have changed that to be on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday so each episode can be viewed in consecutive days. I already had in the report that we could do multiple viewings between 12 and 2pm. One at 12.15pm and then another at 1pm. As each episode is only 26 minutes, there may even be room for another viewing at 1:30pm.
Kylie and Erin really liked the activity of dot painting rocks and teaching staff about Aboriginal dot paintings and also using it as a team building exercise within each of the functional departments. We finished up the meeting with a plan to get this all organised.
From here,
· I contacted NAIDOC about getting some merchandising for the office i.e. Wristbands, stickers, magnets etc
· I created an email to send to the managers of each functional department to inform them of the dot painting activity and that each department will have a particular time to do the activity to celebrate NAIDOC Week and also use it as a team building exercise.
· I also needed to research Aboriginal tribes/info etc that is relevant geographically to the sites, which I will do next time I'm in.
· Erin is going to find out some more of what Leighton is doing as a company for NAIDOC Week, as I couldn't find this information, but she said I wouldn't have been able to anyway. This information will then be added to each of the daily emails.
· Kohby from the Nedlands office (Resources Division) is creating a prestart presentation, which I can then pass onto site and find out what they are doing.
So far the schedule looks like this.

During the week Kylie wrote a report on how to improve community relationships within the Whyalla community. It also included the information I had already researched. The site visit and media tour has also been organised for early June. Erin apologised as unfortunately there isn't any room for me on the trip this time. Kylie encouraged that I need to get to a site soon, so that was another promising suggestion from them both. To finish off the day we had to wrap about 30 presents for all the children/teenagers coming to the family day the next day.
The M&I Rosemount Bowling Family Day went down a treat for everyone that came. The whole of Rosemount Bowl was hired out and as soon as I started walking up the stairs, I could hear music, games playing and children laughing and having fun. I chatted to a few people before grabbing a drink and joining a lane. My bowling skills were a little bit rusty, but I improved and even managed to get a couple of strikes and lots of spares by the end of the two games. A gourmet sausage sizzle lunch, followed by the handing out of presents to the delight of the children and parents helped to really make a great family day for everyone.
