Year 9-10 Aboriginal Studies class presentation to the Elders

Student speaking to the Elders

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for coming and allowing our students to present to you all today. It means a lot to Mr Ashby, myself but most of all our students.

Today Year 9/10 Aboriginal Studies class will be presenting to you what they have been studying in class. They have been learning about Aboriginal and Oral Written Expressions, which were forms of communication used by Aboriginal Peoples before and after invasion. Students have focused on the different forms and have developed an understanding.

We have come together here today to celebrate and share with you a national celebration of Indigenous culture, stories and language “Because of Her we can.”

Today much of our opportunities are the result of hard work our Elders have done for us, so thank you.

Now we would like to share with you some of our stories and poems from our Year 9/10 Aboriginal studies class completing the study ‘Aboriginal Oral and Written Expressions’.

Thank You
