Member for Pilbara Tom Stephens came along on behalf of Senator Louise Pratt and the Australian parliament to present two of the three new flags (one being still on the way) – the Aboriginal flag, Torres Strait Islands flag and the Australian flag – to the school's head boy Mitchil Tullock and head girl Tullejah Fakasiieiki.

Mr Stephens spoke to the children about why each flag is important, saying, "It's a reminder to us all about the need to work together as a people to make our country a better a place from hard effort and happy effort," he said.

Following Mr Stephens' presentation, visiting Perth film producer Cath Trimboli presented the school copies of a brand new DVD which she made in Port Hedland last year to celebrate the Nyangumarta language.

It's something teachers will be able to show children in class and use in their Aboriginal language studies.

Ms Trimboli involved some of the school's junior children, including year two student Tyrell Stewart, and in presenting the DVDs said it's really important that languages are celebrated.

"Because, if they're not, they could die and they're a very important part of indigenous culture and of any culture," she said.

Finally, Creating Communities' Community Development coordinator Mark Davis unveiled a wonderful new banner for the South Hedland New Living Project, which several schools participated in making.

Organised by the Department of Housing's South Hedland New Living Community Development team, students from Cassia, South Hedland and Baler Primary Schools worked with local artist David Hooper in two interactive workshops to design and complete the banner under the theme of "Growing Together".

Mr Davis praised the students for being involved and told the assembled school it shows all the great things that we can do in South Hedland and what makes living in South Hedland such a great place.
