Aboriginal perspectives

Ettalong Beach Public School school principal Mr Colin Wallis has advised that several classes at the school will implement an Aboriginal Perspectives unit of work next term.

Mr Wallis said the classes had been developed by teachers about the history of the local area and the local Aboriginal culture.

"Our school will receive extra assistance in this area because of our involvement in the Schools in Partnership program," Mr Wallis said.

"This program has provided our school with significant funding for the implementation of special programs that enhance the learning for all students."

Also related to the program is a special "gathering" the school is organising for Aboriginal parents to be held at the Mingaletta Community Hall on July 27.

According to Mr Wallis, further details of the program will be given at the event and the Aboriginal Perspectives unit of work will be discussed.
