Academy: Parafield Gardens
Description:
The Kaurna shield is at the centrepiece of our design as our academy meets on Kaurna country. From the black centrepiece there are two pathways to meeting places which have been detailed with the colours of the two schools who are part of our academy.
From the meeting places both schools link into two parts of the environment as we observed that our academy had many students whose Aboriginality comes from the coastal areas and the desert areas of Australia.
Along the hills of the desert areas on the left hand side we have the Kaurna symbol for the members of the class who knew their totem animals.
The symbols inside of the desert hills represents a kinship system but only a small amount is shown on the design to represent how the kinship connections have been lost over time.
