Aboriginal Cultural Awareness

The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness is a course that enables teachers and other members of the school staff to enhance their knowledge of local Dharawal Aboriginal land practices and culture with regards to the Aboriginal Education Policy and to integrate this into their school culture and teaching and learning programs.
