Welcome to Twugia
Thanks for visiting to view the terrific book our year 6 students have produced this year.
Our Land - Our Culture
Cover image of 2012 Twugia book.
Initiated in 2006, Twugia is a project coordinated by the South Western Sydney Region, Aboriginal Education Portfolio team. Twugia is a Darug Aboriginal word meaning “star”. It is how we refer to our precious Aboriginal students who have contributed to this anthology.
Year 6 Aboriginal students who are selected and invited to participate in the project have already demonstrated academic excellence through NAPLAN results. The aim of the project is to provide an opportunity for students to work independently and collegially to further develop writing skills using technology whilst also participating in academic learning hubs with other Aboriginal students, teachers and community members.
As you read this anthology you will be given an insight into how our students connected with the land and produced written factual information on plants. Continue reading and unfold the journey where students’ sense of identity and culture were enriched by using the land as a stimulus, thus empowering them to produce various written genres. Students have demonstrated a great understanding of the power of words to convey meaning and emotion.
