3. Cultural affirmation
Today at the gorge we
explored our culture in a new
way and was made to think
about our education pathways.
I really enjoyed learning about
the different plants and
bushes. I never really thought
of different qualities for plants,
only that they look pretty. I
think it was great to look at
them with a different
perspective and will continue
to think about cultural values.
