Colourful elements of Indigenous Australian cultures will be presented to school students from the Border region when they visit a free education day hosted by Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) early childhood education students on Monday 26 November. The University students, directed by CSU academic and Wiradjuri elder Yalmambirra, will lead small groups that explore various aspects of Indigenous cultures including games, 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 500 primary school pupils that will visit during the day,” said Yalmambirra. The event will be held from 9am at the Mirrambeena community centre, Martha Mews, Lavington.
