The Jagen program invites students to explore their connection to Country through Aboriginal cultural knowledge, storytelling and hands-on learning. Students discover the significance of local landscapes, waterways, native plants, bush foods and medicines, while learning about the relationships between people, Country and community. Through engaging cultural experiences, students develop a deeper understanding of the importance of caring for Country and respecting the knowledge passed down through generations.
