Students were treated to workshops in traditional dancing, face painting and Dreamtime storie, language lessons and art.
Principal of Greenethorpe Public School, Brent Cartwright, said the say a fantastic opportunity for the students.
"It's huge to first of all get together and have the small schools come together, so the kids can interact," he said.
"But then to be able to share these days with cultural celebrations for NAIDOC it makes it that much more special.
"It shows the kids that connection to land and then having the elders come we can't replace that.
"I can't teach what they can teach with their knowledge and culture, because we don't have their knowledge.
"There's nothing more valuable than time and they've given us a day that the kids will remember."
NAIDOC Week 2020 took place between November 8 and 15.
