5/6 Excursion-Birrarung Wilam Workshop

 Students from 5/6C & 5/6 S participated in an in-depth, full-day experience  engaging with local Koorie history and contemporary culture, culminating in a video-making project to consolidate their learning. 

Starting at the Koorie Heritage Trust at Federation Square, students walked along the Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Walk, learning about the significance of the Birrarung Wilam to the Wurundjeri peoples, and how the land on which the Birrarung is located has changed over time. 

Taking in the Aboriginal art installations and Birrarung Marr (side of the river of mists) students were led by an experienced Koorie guide from the Trust, hearing stories that promote and celebrate Victorian Aboriginal Culture. 

Students then visited The Channel to edit together a digital story, exploring the topics discussed on the walk. Students used a video editing software and audio equipment to narrate a short video piece.
