What is Six Seasons?


The Wadjuk / Menang people of the Kingaaling traditionally used the Six Noongar Seasons - Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba and Kambarang to hunt and gather food being guided by the signs in nature as to what animal and plant resources were plentiful at those times.

 

At Flinders Park Primary School we use the Six Seasons as a learning tool to develop the knowledge of our students/ community about the boodga/ country that provides for us and how important it is to respect and maintain the environment for generations to follow.
