Students get to know the Jirraginy joo Goorrarndal: Frog and Brolga Multi-touch Book. They begin to learn about Gija people and their Country. Students will explore the concepts of Creation stories, morals and greed.

The intended learning for the lessons: Students know the importance of The Eagle, the Crow and the Bat ‘teaching’ for the Jaara people. They see how pride in culture can impact on individual and community wellbeing. Students understand the benefits and importance of peacemakers in their own community, as demonstrated by the ‘teaching’. They will identify Jaara Country on a map and explore the Multi-touch Book The Eagle, the Crow and the Bat.

Understanding the difference between a Welcome to Country and an Acknowledgement of Country can help students recognise the diversity of Aboriginal Australia and the importance of continuing these practices today.
