What is Kimberley Kriol?
A culturally-sensitive language version of Early Concepts topics with audio of Kimberley Kriol for each illustration.
The relationships and sexuality concepts have been separated into culturally-sensitive categories.
The Kimberley Kriol version was suggested by consultant teachers working with children with special educational needs in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. The aim of this version is to provide translations of key terms relating to sexuality and relationships to support communication, education, and understanding between cultures.
The lessons are divided into the following concepts areas:
- Women’s business
- Men’s business
- Relationships
- Emotions
