Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures in The Australian Curriculum

At Aboriginal Incursions we provide opportunities for students to learn about and value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and knowledge in a fun environment with our authentic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators.
The Australian Curriculum sets the expectations for what all young Australians should be taught, regardless of their background or where they live.

The Australian Curriculum is working towards addressing two distinct needs in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education:

Firstly that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are able to see themselves, their identities and their cultures reflected in the curriculum of each of the learning areas, can fully participate in the curriculum and can build their self-esteem.

And where the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures cross-curriculum priority is designed for all students to engage in reconciliation, respect and recognition of the world’s oldest continuous living cultures.

This bold section above is where our Aboriginal Incursions excels. With 20+ years of placing Aboriginal Incursions into the Australian curriclum at public and private schools of all backgrounds, we have the experience and the programs you need to help foster students that are culturally adept, inclusive, and reflective of the rich diversity of Australia's first nations people, their heritage and cultures.
