An innovative program at a Northern Rivers High School to rename its campus blocks to reflect local Aboriginal language is the first to do so in the Bundjalung nation.
For example, one of the new signs to be displayed says "ngulliboo", which means "all of us".
At Lismore High School two of the Aboriginal student leaders and prefects, John Gorman, 17, and Jaidyn Cicchinelli, 17, spoke about the importance of the 'Renaming the Blocks in Broader Bundjalung Project'.
The pair were part of the project, which the school said was led every step of the way by the school's Aboriginal students, while the whole school was involved in determining the final names for each block.
