IHHP returned to Aurukun in Far North Queensland to work in Koolkan Aurukun Community School to create a new music video.
The community members came out in full support to help write a song about their wonderful school as well as life in Aurukun.
Hip Hop dance workshops were held simultaneously at the school and at the PCYC.
The song emphasises that School is important and every day counts in a students education. The school values as well as other lines are sung in local indigenous language "Wik Mungkan."
Thank you to the Community, School, Teachers, PCYC as well as Topsy and Janine for making our time in Aurukun special. Enjoy and Share!!
