@KerrieQ @CathyBrennan1 @pruecar @monicacidem1 @EALDNSW @dizdarm We celebrated the completion of the yurt with ‘Mongolian Day’ - students wore the colours of the Mongolian flag (red, blue and yellow) and we invited World renowned Mongolian throat singer Bukhu. He has presented at TEDX, the Sydney Opera House and The Voice 😄 He is amazing!

@KerrieQ @CathyBrennan1 @pruecar @monicacidem1 @EALDNSW @dizdarm What transpired was a week-long artist in residence project that culminated in the most beautiful displays of community and connection, particularly for our growing Mongolian community.

@KerrieQ @CathyBrennan1 @pruecar @monicacidem1 @EALDNSW @dizdarm Kjell and Iva Moberg from NIE Theatre reached out to me through a mutual artist friend, as they were looking for a space to build their yurt. They couldn’t bring all of it on the plane to Australia from Norway, and when I told my Principal, she said that they could use our school

@KerrieQ @CathyBrennan1 @pruecar @monicacidem1 @EALDNSW @dizdarm Thank you for sharing Kerrie! The yurt is for a theatre show called ‘We Come From Far, Far Away’ by NIE Theatre (Norway). It’s a show about 2 Syrian refugee boys, and is told in a traditional Mongolian Yurt. It will be performed at the Sydney Opera House next week 😄
