LAURIMAR PRIMARY SCHOOL

In 2024, our school is thrilled to join forces with Woodford Primary for an extraordinary 8-night educational adventure to the Northern Territory. We will be taking 41 enthusiastic grade 5 and 6 students, including 26 from Laurimar Primary School, on this memorable journey.

 

The primary goal of this trip is to cultivate young leaders who possess a profound understanding of their country by immersing them in rich learning experiences about Indigenous culture and the fascinating history of Darwin and the wider Northern Territory.

Our students will delve into Australian geography and explore the breathtaking natural landmarks of our incredible country. This trip promises to be an unforgettable educational experience, enhancing their knowledge and appreciation of our nation's diverse heritage.

​

The selection process for this trip was highly competitive. Students were asked to nominate themselves and articulate their reasons for wanting to participate. We received an overwhelming response at Laurimar Primary, with 45 students applying. From this talented group, 26 students were chosen based on their compelling applications.

​

To prepare for this adventure, our selected students have been actively participating in Indigenous cultural sessions led by Shanai Kellett from Maloga Art Mentoring. Through these sessions, they are gaining insights into essential Indigenous cultural elements and creating artwork that narrates their learnings. These sessions will continue as we gear up for our exciting journey.

​

We are looking forward to this incredible opportunity to broaden our students' horizons and foster a deeper connection with Australia's rich cultural and natural heritage. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting trip to the Northern Territory!
