Ancient skill of sharing stories

Dandenong South Primary students learned about Koori culture at a Reconciliation Week event.
On Friday 20 May the school hosted tutors from Datiwuy, a clan within the Yolngu people from Elcho Island in North East Arnhem Land.
Performing arts teacher Jackie De Koning said the program helped children to understand the importance of music, dance and story in the Yolngu culture.
“The Yolngu people have been making music and sharing stories longer that almost anyone else on the planet,” she said.
