Moombaki Cultural Learnings<\/h2>\n \n

Moombaki Cultural Learnings is an Australian Research Council and Â鶹ֱ²¥ funded research project which aims to honour and reconnect grass roots Aboriginal knowledges to primary school education. The objective is to prioritise Aboriginal parents, carers, students and Aboriginal staff values, beliefs and ways of doing and embed it within the school system and relevant curriculum.<\/br><\/p>\n

The research addresses better outcomes for Aboriginal children, particularly those in urban centres. It is anticipated that by increasing Aboriginal children’s knowledge of and self-esteem towards their identity by reconnecting them to culture, country and kin, their racial identity and self-esteem will improve, and in doing so can impact positively on their wellbeing and academic outcomes.<\/br><\/p>\n

Over the past two years, the research team have worked alongside local Aboriginal communities, students and staff from three primary schools situated in the City of Swan (Weeip\u2019s boodja).<\/br><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n \n <\/article>\n <\/div>\n <\/mimas-block>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n
