BARANGAROO AND MCA EXCURSION - YEAR 11 & 12 ABORIGINAL STUDIES

On Monday 29th May, Year 11 and 12 Aboriginal Studies classes had an amazing day in Sydney. Students visited the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). The Aboriginal Art was insightful to the expressions of heritage and identity. Esme Timberry was featured with an impressive artwork of shellwork slippers. Other works expressed stories, dance, ochre and Country. After lunch, we went on a guided walk of Barangaroo where we learnt about Barangaroo the person, plants, stories about the Dooligah and Greedy Pelican. The engagement was exemplary and it was a worthwhile learning experience.
