Learning on Country

Last week at Cranbrook Teachers Talking Teaching (CTTT), Thomas McDonnell delivered a thought-provoking presentation to Cranbrook Senior School teachers about his recent journey to Cape York with the social enterprise group, Red Earth.

Thomas’ reflections on the authentic connections made with First Nations Traditional Owners and their families in Guugu Yimidhirr, Kuku-Yalanji, Djabuganjdji and Yidinjdji Country, and the knowledge gained about these communities’ culture and history, were a powerful reminder of the importance of learning on country.
