Growing Knowledge—Primary School

The Primary School programs within Younga Yarns are designed to deepen students’ understanding of Aboriginal perspectives through structured, meaningful learning experiences. As students grow, so does the depth of learning—moving beyond introduction into reflection, discussion, and real-world connection.

These programs support students to explore identity, relationships, culture, and history in ways that are age-appropriate and engaging. Through storytelling, collaborative activities, and guided reflection, students develop emotional intelligence, respect for others, and an understanding of their place within community and Country.

Educators are supported with practical guidance, ensuring that cultural knowledge is shared respectfully and confidently in the classroom. The programs are designed to integrate into everyday teaching while building stronger connections between students, culture, and learning.
