The cultural session at Narana includes:
- a description of Aboriginal history and way of living
- tools and weapons presentation
- boomerang throwing
- an explanation of bush food and medicines
- feeding the kangaroos and emus
7C, 7D, 7E and 7I students have already had their excursions to Narana and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The presenter, Aunty Kerry, stated that she was tremendously impressed by their enthusiasm and active participation throughout the two-hour session. Each group was presented with a didgeridoo to take back to school as a memento of their time at Narana.
