And it can be integrated into programs across multiple year levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this unique collection, students can explore Carrolup stories and histories, encouraging their curiosity to develop critical thinking and an understanding of culture, history, place and identity. The collection inspires creative responses and investigations into historical perspectives, allowing students to develop language and literacy skills, and promote thoughtful discussion about the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n<mimas-block  block-name=\"description-list\" role=\"complementary\" aria-label=\"Description list\" data-segment=\"all\">\n\n\t\n<div class=\"block-heading\"\n     data-segment=\"dom\"\n     data-style=\"\"\n     data-align=\"default\"\n>\n\n                                <h2 class=\"block-heading__title \" id=\"explore-carrolup-learning-resources\">Explore Carrolup learning resources<\/h2>\n            \n                        \n                        \n            \n                <\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\n\t<div class=\"list\">\n            <div class=\"list__item\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-border-is-rounded crop-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/jcg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/east-vic-park-6-masthead.jpg\" alt=\"Students from East Victoria Park Primary School and Education Support Centre outside the John Curtin Gallery.
