The Bamaboomahla program invites students to explore Aboriginal art, storytelling and cultural expression through hands-on creative experiences. Students learn how Aboriginal peoples use art to share stories, communicate cultural knowledge and express connections to Country, community and identity. Through guided activities, students create their own painted story discs to take home, developing an appreciation for Aboriginal artistic traditions and contemporary cultural expression.
