Aboriginal School Workshops
re: Indigenous Incursions at School
Hello, my name is Rick Roser...
...I'm an Indigenous presenter of Aboriginal workshops for Schools, Festivals and Corporations.
My Indigenous school incursions have been engaging kids for over 30 years now…..from first days at Prep right through to the last days of High School…
...and by all accounts they are very insightful, highly educational……
…and great fun!!
...%100 hands on... and with big shells of ochre, hundreds of emu feather hair decorations…scores of fire making sticks, dozens of didgeridoos, enough boomerangs, spears, necklaces, arm bands…
...making them, using them, keeping some…what’s not to love?
…Because the Students learn real skills in a such a memorable way the activities have proven invaluable for Teachers to use as Indigenous references across the curriculum.
...Real Indigenous information and culture shared and evaluated in a relaxed learning environment for all kids...
and providing a positive introduction to Aboriginal culture...

The workshops are best located in an undercover outdoor area close to the oval.
After 30 odd years I can work around any circumstances and pretty well guarantee everyone will have a fantastic time.
