NAIDOC Week provides an important opportunity to celebrate the histories, cultures, achievements and continuing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. For schools, it can also act as a catalyst for building deeper teacher knowledge and strengthening classroom practice throughout the year.
The resources in this collection support teachers to engage respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures through quality literature, purposeful discussion, explicit literacy teaching and authentic First Nations voices. Together they provide practical pathways for developing students' knowledge, language, critical thinking and understanding across the curriculum.
Whether you are selecting mentor texts, teaching language, exploring Country and identity, or building curriculum knowledge, these resources support meaningful and respectful engagement with First Nations perspectives through literacy learning.
