Indigenous elders
Our class names are from an
indigenous vocabulary and have a meaning that teachers will use to help form a
class identity. The reason for indigenous names is to have as a part of our
everyday life at school an opportunity to acknowledge the perspective of the
traditional landowners. Our department
places a high level of importance on all students gaining an indigenous
perspective in their learning, and for the indigenous perspective to be
embedded in our school life. Our school is required to have an action plan in
response to the policy Embedding
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Perspectives. A committee of interested teachers, parents and community members meet
regularly.
