You and Me, Murrawee - 2025

Explore First Peoples culture and gain a deeper understanding of the Eastern Kulin Nations.

Children will learn how to show respect for Traditional Owners and the continuing connection of First Peoples to Country by participating in an Acknowledgement of Country and sharing in the reading of You and Me, Murrawee; a beautifully observed story of what life would have been like 200 years ago, told through the eyes of a young girl camping by the river with her family. This story then used as the basis for an exploration of First Nations culture through different experiences.
