The Pavilion School demonstrates the capacity for First Nations knowledges and pedagogies to engage marginalised young people back into education. Through an expansive Yarning on Country program, the school leads the state in First Nations education through three angles. Firstly, the delivery of engaging and culturally relevant Koorie programs such as possum skin burning, Yidaki building, and emu feather weaving in order to facilitate relationship building and social and emotional wellbeing. Secondly, the program consults on school curriculum and lesson planning to ensure all students are receiving up-to-date, relevant and cultural safe materials about the strengths of First Nations cultures. And finally, the program forges strong relational ties to local First Nations organsiation which enables the school to support student enrolment and student pathways, before and after they attend the school. This complex network of relational practices results in the school's First Nations cohort being 20 times higher than state average, and ensures that the most marginalised young people are given the cultural and academic tools to resist colonial oppression and thrive in their lives. The program recognises that Indigenous wellbeing is at the centre of all education that exists on Country, and demonstrates the practicality of reshaping the education system.
