Lessons

This unit introduces students to the concept of cultural fire management. Students will explore the importance of fire as a tool for ecosystem health, the science of carbon storage, and the respect required to carry out these practices safely.

Through yarning circles, outdoor observations, and creative projects, students will develop their ability to identify natural patterns and reflect on the ways First Nations knowledge systems inform sustainable practices.

In this project based, multi-subject unit, students explore the deep connections between plants, food, culture, and Country.

This unit invites students to connect with nature through sound, capturing and preserving the natural “voices” of Country.

Students engage with Adnyamathanha stories. They gain insights into the valuable lessons Dreaming stories convey about identity, values, and the environment. They participate in yarning circles, mind mapping activities, and art-making.

In this multi-year, cross-curriculum unit, students explore Adnyamathanha Country through the Same Like Yesterday mapping activities, storytelling, biographical interviewing, and visual art.

Students explore the impact of colonisation on Adnyamathanha Yarta, focusing on the renaming of First Nations' sacred places, and why recognising and reclaiming the original name matters.

Students will explore the cultural, environmental, and ethical impacts of mining, focusing on the Beverley Uranium Mine and other global examples.

Students explore the concept of ‘vision’ by learning from the past and imagining the future. They investigate key moments of First Nations activism using the Storying Our Shared Histories timeline. Drawing on their knowledge of current issues, students create a future timeline of imagined events and develop a character profile for a fictional changemaker.
