Summary
Genazzano FCJ College outlines how First Peoples history and culture could be taught better at school, including by seeking support from Elders and local First Nations communities, staff professional development and curriculum materials, experiences provided by First Peoples and celebrating First Peoples culture. It also describes how First Nations students can be better supported, including through staff cultural education and understanding, schools having Reconciliation Action Plans and visible cultural references. Recognising that school settings can be intimidating for some families and welcoming and including families is also vital.
