Secret of the Stars

Years 2 - 4

Three Week workshops

First Nations people have tens of thousands of years of knowledge sharing the unique shapes and stories of the stars visible from this hemisphere. In this workshop series, students will explore the Star Stories of the Dreaming and consider the senses as they use poetic storytelling techniques to respond to stories from Aboriginal Astronomy.
