Why
Embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives recognises First Peoples as the original custodians of this Country and reflects Australia’s true, continuing histories and cultures. For all students, it builds cultural capability, empathy, and critical thinking - helping young people understand multiple viewpoints and engage respectfully with difference. It also ensures Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children see their identities, languages, and knowledges valued and affirmed in everyday learning. Ultimately, it strengthens equity and reconciliation by normalising truth-telling, respect, and culturally responsive practice across the whole school community.
