JIMBOOMBA State School unveiled a new museum of local indigenous history and culture on Friday to cap off a week packed full of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander-themed activities.
The school dedicated the first week of term three to NAIDOC week, which officially took place during school holidays.
Acting head of curriculum Lorelle Taylor said the museum was dubbed Bullang Bujerum, which means strong spirit in the Yugambeh language.
"We have a strong commitment to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander perspectives throughout the curriculum," Ms Taylor said.
Former Jimboomba State School teacher and author Gregg Dreise launched his first book, Silly Birds, at the assembly on Friday and ran story-telling workshops.
More than a decade ago, Mr Dreise created the school's cultural trail with the help of his uncle and Aboriginal elder Uncle Reg Knox.
Mr Dreise said the new museum was a great continuation of the work he began with the cultural trail.
"It's really close to my heart, coming back here, because I've never seen anything like it at all the schools I've been to," he said.
Mr Dreise said his book was inspired by Dreamtime stories and taught children an important lesson in a fun way.
"The moral behind this story is: it's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys," he said.
"It teaches kids to chose your friends wisely."
Mr Dreise said the book took more than a year to complete as he did all the illustrations as well as writing the story.
Earlier in the week, students participated in art workshops with Aunty De Greer-Yindimincarlie from Yindiartz.
Each student painted their own gratitude rock to take home with them.
