Stage 5 Aboriginal Studies

Stage 5 Aboriginal Studies have been learning about Aboriginal Peoples and Sport during Term 2. As part of this, they studied a chosen traditional Aboriginal sport or game and are teaching this to Year 2, 3, and 4. In Week 6 the first class they taught was Year 4. This was a great opportunity for the Year 9 & 10 students to share some of the cultural knowledge with the younger students. This was a valuable learning experience for both Stage 5 Aboriginal Studies and the Year 4 class.
