Learning on Country

So, what is Learning on Country?

Learning on Country in Bulman-Weemol communities is an important and culturally focused teaching program facilitated by local Indigenous Elders and Mimal rangers.

We are a proudly independent program, supported by the Mimal Board and Karrkad Kanjdji Trust, and developed in collaboration with Bulman School.

We deliver strong two-way learning opportunities for daku / wurrud (kids) of Bulman-Weemol and bring Rembarrnga and Dalabon culture and language into the curriculum.

What do we do in Learning on Country?

We offer Learning on Country activities to all students at Bulman School from pre-school to high school. The activities are based on the seasonal calendar and include:

• Traditional knowledge about water, fire, earth and sky

• Indigenous languages (Dalabon and Rembarrnga)

• Kinship and identity

• Seasonal cycles, bush tuckers and bush medicines

• Traditional hunting, preparation and cooking

• Traditional arts, crafts, song and dance

• Traditional tools and implements

• Rock art

• Caring for Country and land management

• Being on Country and learning stories of place

We also practice two-way learning, job skills and land management for older students with the Mimal rangers
