Didgeridoo Australia is SAM4Schools registered and all of our educators have a current Working with Children Check.
Curriculum Links:
Didgeridoo Australia's classes and performances help teachers meet the Australian Professional Teaching Standard 2.4 (Understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians). We make easy and enjoyable what is often a challenge for teachers unfamiliar with Aboriginal culture.
Didgeridoo Australia also helps teachers meet The Victorian Curriculum F–10, which requires all students to ‘learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. The knowledge and skills that students are expected to develop about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders histories and cultures has a particular and enduring importance and assists students to understand the uniqueness of these cultures and the wisdom and knowledge embedded in them.'
Our carefully designed lessons cover the concepts, skills and knowledge required to meet curriculum standards. With notice, we can tailor presentations to specific topics you would like to get addressed.
"Your well-resourced, organised and carefully prepared session was both of a professional standard and highly engaging for our young Year 2 students. Your friendly manner and sense of humour was pitched perfectly for your audience, as students were taken through the different components of the session. The quick setup and pack up of your equipment was greatly appreciated due to the time constraints of the school timetable. Thank you again for an entertaining and educational incursion."
Chad Gallaher, Balcombe Grammar School
"Didgeridoo Australia presented an interactive, educational and highly engaging workshop to our Year 7 Parade College students during Reconciliation Week. The students were impressed with the contemporary didgeridoo performance by Ganga, and the enthusiastic and informative presentation."
