Over the past two terms students have been diving into deep learning to help get a better understanding of Australian Indigenous Culture, this then brings students to have a deep discussion with their peers and teachers.

Early Stage One

Students in Early Stage One over the past week have been learning about ‘The Rainbow Serpent’ and how ‘The Rainbow Serpent’, was a protector of water. Early Stage One had a great discussion about this dreamtime story and created their own Rainbow Serpent.
