International Students Get a Taste of Indigenous Australia

Recently a group of International students from the Faculty of Education and Arts visited the University's Wollotuka Institute, to find out more about Australia's Indigenous heritage.

Staff at Wollotuka spoke to our students about Aboriginal history and culture, and this was followed by demonstrations of didgeridoo-playing and traditional dancing. The students also had the chance to join in the dancing and attempt to play the didgeridoo.

The students had an enjoyable and informative time, and on the strength of this, such visits may become a regular part of the Faculty's program to provide an enriching student experience for our International students. The photo shows Joe Griffin from Wollotuka demonstrating the didgeridoo.
