As part of the Year 3 Community and Remembrance History topic, students were fortunate enough to go to Melbourne Museum and explore the Bunjilaka Gallery in a Place and Culture staff-led activity.  Students were able to learn about the Aboriginal culture while creating a video on the iPad about the exhibits they were looking at.
