What floats your boat? That’s the pivotal question in our boat building challenge. Schools will face off in a challenge to build the best vessel using only use recycled and ‘found materials’ from the local environment.  Family and community members are encouraged to attend, help out or even challenge the students with their own boat building attempts. Held at the Wyndham Swimming Pool, the day will finish with a community BBQ as we test which boats will sink or sail.

The challenge, facilitated by Wyndham District High School and St Joseph’s School, is open to schools from across the East Kimberley, including Wyndham, Balgo, Warnum, Glen Hill and Kalumburu.

Indigenous Elders, rangers and locals with boating and fishing experience will help out students and share their knowledge as together we understand how science, Country and culture weave together.
