In Australia cultural heritage is important for many reasons. Valuing local input can strengthen any teaching program, engaging children of all backgrounds. Living sustainably in Australia has specific challenges that Aboriginal Australian's have dealt with. The result is a rich and diverse spread of knowledge held across the nation by local Aboriginal people. 

As well as specific pedagogical ideas, techniques and processes found on this page others that can support educators can be found in the Social Resources section of this site.

Our main focus is on Aboriginal cultural resources. We intend to add other cultures' resources because a rich and diverse society makes up today's Australia. A wealth of benefits can be gained through supporting the cultural diversity of Australia. As teachers with different backgrounds and teaching experiences share their knowledge this page will provide more and more support.
