These murals of a Barramundi and a Brolga have been painted by the community in Daly River, Northern Territory, Australia, to remind everyone about how the community and the children in St Francis Xavier Catholic School are learning and achieving together. The project, led by Miriam Rose Bauman and Julianne Willis, draws everyone in the school community together to engage in learning and change. The vision of the project is summed up in the title Ngamara Fimityatit – which means
When we learn together, sharing + living the same language for learning, we will be empowered to create a new story for our future…
It’s about bringing together local traditional knowledge systems with 21century ideas about learning, in order to empower and engage a new generation. For more details of the project you can read the latest update about how the whole community is engaged in a process of merging two streams into a third way. Watch the video below made by the students in the school to show how we learn together in Daly River….Animal Powers…..
