Summary

A folder containing examples of work produced by First Peoples students from Braiakalung, Wemba Wemba, Kurung, at school Camp Jungai in Rubicon, near Eildon, in 1984, and Camp Brigundi, Merricks, in 1985.

These camps were organised by the Victorian Aboriginal Education Consultative Group, first established in 1976. Operating as educational transition camps, they were offered to assist students in as they transitioned from grade 6 to year 7. The scrapbook documents Sunrise computer sessions at the camps run by Dr. Liddy Nevile and her team. It includes work the students did on computers including story writing and programming. Each camp produced a newsletter in 1984 that was called the 'Koorie Kourier' and this scrapbook includes the 1st and 2nd editions. In 1985 it was called Brigundi News and this scrapbook includes the 7 January, 9 January and 10 January editions.

This object forms part of the Sunrise Collection which includes educational robots, software and multimedia recordings of teachers and students, mainly in Victoria, exploring new possibilities with computer programming.
