Indigenous students learn traditional languages, but one future leader says it'd be too hard to teach nationwide
A school leadership program is teaching Indigenous students about their culture, history and languages, but one young leader says a national school curriculum on Indigenous languages would be almost impossible to roll out. Key points: At Mount Isa in north-west Queensland, a group of Indigenous students are learning about their culture through a leadership program Elders attend the school to share their stories and to be interviewed by the students One of the goals is to build confidence and pride in the students taking part Tremayne Gemmell calls himself a bridge between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The Ngawa Indigenous Leadership Program, at Mount Isa Spinifex State College in north-west Queensland, is vital for young Indigenous students, Tremayne said. "I'm an Indigenous person born and bred in Mount Isa, so I became involved in the program out of pure passion for the Indigenous community," she said.
