The Write it Right programs are suitable for Primary & High Schools

Write It Right is an engaging cultural education program designed for Primary and High School students. Developed by Murrook’s Culture, Heritage & Education team, Gudida, the program helps students build a stronger understanding of Aboriginal culture, identity and connection to Country through meaningful learning experiences.

Delivered by knowledgeable local Aboriginal educators, Write It Right combines classroom learning with hands-on cultural experiences. The program encourages curiosity, respect and deeper awareness while supporting students to explore culture in a safe and engaging environment.

The program runs across the school term and includes a series of structured sessions that blend in-school learning with on Country experiences. Through workshops, discussions and excursions, students gain insight into the knowledge, traditions and stories of the Worimi people while developing a stronger connection to culture and community.

Students explore local Dreaming stories, learn about traditional bush resources and discover how Aboriginal knowledge continues to shape life today. These experiences allow young people to engage directly with culture while building understanding and respect for the world’s oldest living culture.

Write It Right is guided by the Four Pillars of Culture, which provide the foundation for learning throughout the program.

Experiences may include:

Through Write It Right, Gudida aims to support cultural understanding, strengthen identity and create meaningful learning opportunities for the next generation.
