Year 1

Aboriginal Experience Incursion

To conclude Term 1, Year One students participated in an all day incursion. They had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the richness of Aboriginal culture, learning about the traditions and culture of the original custodians of this land. Year 1 learned about the Indigenous connection to places through Dreamtime stories and gained an understanding of the features of places where Aboriginal people lived. Students were introduced to the history of the local area and how their community is connected to significant people, events, places and sites. They participated in traditional Aboriginal language greetings and learned how to care for places that are important to Aboriginal peoples. The highlight for many of the students was boomerang and spear throwing and participating in the traditional Aboriginal body and face painting. 

It was a memorable day about creating links from the past to our present, a day Year 1 will remember for a long time.
