Birrigai has a range of immersive historical simulation programs that engage students in Australian history from pre-invasion with a Cultural Integrity lens, to European exploration and colonial expansion. Students will learn about significant Aboriginal sites such as the rock shelter at Birrigai and engage in the Australian Gold Rush experience and its role in the emergence of democracy in Australia.
Birrigai’s approach to teaching history is grounded in ‘truth telling’, Cultural Integrity and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures’ Cross-Curriculum Priority of the Australian Curriculum. Learn more about the ‘truth telling’ program here.
