	BORDER-CROSSING: CULTURAL HYBRIDITY AND THE RURAL AND SMALL SCHOOLS PRACTICUM
		She saw the practicum at Yirrkala as an opportunity to become more involved in programming and 'pulling apart curriculum,' something she had done little of in child care.
		As we shall see, there is a heady excitement for our student-teachers about dwelling in the beyond, which is partly attributable to a new sense of the possibility of self, and a growing awareness of 'the fluidity of difference' (Burbules, 1997) as borders shift, lands are explored, and spaces created.
		Hence, this form of hybridity which arises prior to the colonialist past and veers into the post-colonial present is very clearly understood by the original inhabitants and remains one which is very much under their control.
