Snapshots of Indigenous culture

1 JANUARY 2003

Colourful elements of Indigenous Australian culture will be presented to school students from the Border region when they visit an education day hosted by Charels Sturt Universty’s (CSU) early childhood education students on Thursday 9 November. The University students, directed by CSU academic and Wirradjuri elder Yalmambirra, will lead small groups that explore various aspects of Indigenous culture including boomerang throwing, bush tucker, face painting, dance and storytelling, and be assessed as part of their teaching degree course. “The day long event is an important educational experience for CSU students and around 400 primary primary school pupils that will visit during the day,” said Yalmambira. The event will be held at the Mirrambeena community centre at Lavington, between 9am and 2.30pm.
