Curriculum Links:
Didgeridoo Australia's classes and performances help teachers meet the Australian Professional Teaching Standard 2.4 (Understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians). We make easy and enjoyable what is often a challenge for teachers unfamiliar with Aboriginal culture.
Didgeridoo Australia also helps teachers meet The Victorian Curriculum F–10, which requires all students to ‘learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. The knowledge and skills that students are expected to develop about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders histories and cultures has a particular and enduring importance and assists students to understand the uniqueness of these cultures and the wisdom and knowledge embedded in them.'
Our carefully designed lessons cover the concepts, skills and knowledge required to meet curriculum standards. With notice, we can tailor presentations to specific topics you would like to get addressed.
"I just wanted to say on behalf of Preston PS how much we enjoyed the whole school day program you ran for us as part of our whole school event for the term.
The students really enjoyed all the rotations, especially working together with their peers on the murals and listening to the didgeridoo! They also were able to learn more about the culture and experiences of the indigenous people so again thank you for sharing with them.” - Whole School Program

"Thank you so much for the wonderful experience today with Ganga Giri! Ganga was amazing with the kids! They were so excited and engaged! He had them hanging off every word he said!
The way he wove the stories about life and culture into the experience was just awesome!
I will be recommending you highly! Thank you! St Joseph’s team"
