Aim: The aim of Awaba Public School's April excursion to Glenrock Recreational Area was to give students a beginning knowledge of a local Aboriginal heritage and cultural area in Newcastle.
Outcome: Kids were very enthusiastic with Ranger Gary's tour and we met the aim extremely well. All of the students asked questions, even the kids that wouldn't really ask questions. The kids were abuzz with excitement.

Story Telling
Our gorgeous lunchtime storytelling spot
Future: We realised we would like to include an Aboriginal cultural perspective into our Big Day Out programs. The Big Day Out allows kids to learn about the world around them through real life excursions. Students report back to the school through videos, posters, reports, news articles etc.
KEEP A WATCH FOR BIG DAY OUT NEWS STORIES NEXT TERM!
