Learning resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education

We know many educators look for reliable curriculum resources when teaching on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues. You can find excellent resources via Narragunnawali – a program that supports schools and early learning services to take action towards reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Narragunnawali online platform is free to access and provides practical ways to introduce meaningful reconciliation initiatives in the classroom, around the school and with the community. Through the Narragunnawali platform, schools and early learning services can develop a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), and teachers and educators can access professional learning and curriculum resources to support the implementation of reconciliation initiatives.

Further information is listed below on what is available. For the full resources, sign up to www.narragunnawali.org.au
