All students will chose between dance and music for option one and do one of the following for their second cultural experience, weaving or art. Each of these practical workshops will address in oral traditions the cultural significance of skills involved, division of labour associated with practices, contemporary practices and holistic orientation of cohesive community work practices. Students as the primary assessment will be assessed on a final presentation concert for practical experience one and produce an item for assessment from practical option two.
