Primary School Lesson Plan—How Kangaroo Got His Tail
Primary School Lesson Plan—How Kangaroo Got His Tail
Primary Teachers
With Australia's deep history and culture, it is imperative that we normalise Aboriginal culture in the school environment. Aboriginal students are individuals who deserve respect and recognition every day, not just during NAIDOC week. One reason for the importance of normalising Aboriginal culture in schools is the impact it has on Aboriginal students' self-esteem and sense of belonging. It can be isolating for Aboriginal children to go through life as a minority in a predominantly non-Aboriginal environment. By teaching non-Indigenous students about Aboriginal culture and history, we can create a safe and welcoming space for Aboriginal students to feel proud of their identity and culture.
