Arnhem Land Immersion
Arnhem Land Immersion, Take Two: September 2021
I am delighted to announce that last year’s cancelled trip to Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory is back on the table in 2021! This cultural immersion experience for students in Years 8 to 10 is now scheduled to take place in September.
The Arnhem Land adventure sits firmly under our new strategic pillar ‘Diversity as the Path to Unity’, offering 30 students a unique opportunity to build their social intelligence by learning about and experiencing a culture that has existed for over 50,000 years. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the local people, students will be immersed in Indigenous homelands and community experiences including; language, bush foods and medicines, moieties, totems, dreaming stories, song lines and much more. The immersion will include spending time in the town of Nhulunbuy (also known as Gove) and the Culture College, as well as an Indigenous Homeland, Nyinyikay, where students will experience the contrast between town and community life. With the confidence that students who travel to Arnhem Land with open hearts and open minds will leave with an invaluable knowledge of First Nations people, their diversity, history and their land, I encourage you to discuss this unique experiential learning opportunity with your daughters.
