This guide is to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and non-Indigenous students on their reconciliation journey; independently and as part of the school community. All students can get involved in the whole-school commitment to reconciliation alongside teachers, educators, parents and caregivers supporting children and young people.
First Nations students and non-Indigenous students play a fundamental role not only to participate in reconciliation in education but also as future leaders, community members and change makers.
First steps for students can include:
• Learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories in your classroom
• Find out if your school has a reconciliation action plan (RAP) and learn more about your school’s commitment to reconciliation
• Getting involved in reconciliation activities at your school.
This is a guide only and should be considered together with the wider resources available on the Narragunnawali platform, along with the advice from local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities.
