Summary
Bellbird Park State Secondary College is reviving the Yagara language with a groundbreaking program for Years 7 and 8, led by deputy principal Diane Pashen. Partnering with local elders and the Wirrinyah Gurrnung Corporation, the school uses a co-teaching model that immerses students in authentic Yagara culture, totems, land, and plants—making learning both meaningful and transformative. Already recognized with a Schools Plus Teaching Award and a $20,000 grant, Pashen plans to expand the program into senior years and inspire other schools across Australia, including the Northern Territory, to adopt this powerful model of cultural preservation and authentic education.
