On Wednesday, the seven schools visited the gallery for a celebration of the exhibition - Stories from Wonnarua Country - including performances, a smoking ceremony and discussion.
The schools participating in the exhibition include Francis Greenway High, Hunter Valley Grammar, Maitland High, Metford Public, Tarro Public, Telarah Public and Woodberry Public.
Each school's response has been led by student leaders from their Junior Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (JAECG) as they explored ideas in workshops at school, Maitland Regional Art Gallery and at some very special places on Wonnarua Country.
Visit the exhibition during NAIDOC Week from July 7 to 14 and explore your connection to Country through a painting workshop with Wonnarua artist Lesley Salem, or dance class with Emily Punu.
