WHOLE SCHOOL PROGRAM
With larger group sizes and a range of topics, this rich experiential learning opportunity will engage all students, moving and creating!
Three Flexible Whole-School Options
Option 1: Building Meaningful Relationships Through Annual Incursions
First Nations Incursions offers primary schools a unique opportunity to foster deep, lasting connections with Aboriginal culture. Our structured, annual programs move beyond one-off visits, allowing students to progressively build knowledge, ask thoughtful questions, and develop genuine respect for the world's oldest living cultures.
Each year, students from Foundation to Year 6 engage in age-appropriate cultural immersion, experiencing a continuous journey of discovery that reflects their growing intellectual and emotional capacity.
This framework nurtures cultural understanding over time, creating a lasting impact and authentic connection within your school community. Designed for schools seeking an ongoing cultural learning relationship rather than a one-off experience.
