Recently, Central Mangrove Public School students had the opportunity to participate in an excursion with Rumbalara Environmental Education Centre (EEC) at Brisbane Water National Park.
The day began with a walk along the Girrakool Loop Track, where students explored an important Aboriginal rock engraving site and deepened their understanding of local Indigenous history and culture.
Students also visited the Bulgandry Aboriginal Art Site near Kariong. Guided by Aboriginal educators, they learned about the significance and stories behind the rock art, as well as the importance of respecting Indigenous sites.
This excursion highlighted traditional Aboriginal approaches to farming and sustainability, encouraging students to consider how these practices have shaped care for Country over thousands of years.
Building on these experiences, students will visit local Mountains farms next term to explore modern farming methods, sustainability, and the journey from farm to fork. This learning will culminate in an exciting restaurant experience, where students will design recipes then cook and serve them to parents at our Central Mangrove restaurant. More on this to come!
