On Monday the grade 5/6’s had a visit from the Koori Education Development Officer named Rosie
Schultz .

She taught us about traditional koori weapons and tools. She called someone to come up and they would
choose an item on the floor and they would say what they thought that item was and what it was used for.
Some of the items were the nulla nulla, carrying and eating trays, a shield which was used to protect them
from their enemies’ weapons such as a spear, and other types of weapons. Other items included boomerangs, stone axes and a grinding stone.

She told us that you don’t have to be black to be a koori. She also told us that some of her relatives were part of the stolen generation.
