3. Primary School: I attended a rural Catholic school in NSW. From memory, I don't recall learning too much about Indigenous knowledge and perspectives.. the odd history of European colonisation. I do remember learning about the 'Stolen Generations', 'Assimilation', 'White Australia', and the term Terra Nullius. But to be honest I don't think I took too much interest in it & didn't understand or appreciate Indigenous perspectives and their history.
4. High School: I attended a Catholic College in rural NSW. There was a higher focus on Indigenous history particularly in history subjects.
