An educational poster providing a rationale for teaching Australian children about Aboriginal customs.

Display this poster in your classroom as a reminder of the importance of integrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives across the curriculum.

Why teach all Australian kids about Aboriginal customs?

Teaching Australian children about Aboriginal customs provides a great opportunity to:

  • learn about the survival techniques of the Aboriginal people in the cold climate of southern Victoria
  • appreciate that cloaks used for warmth had artistic & spiritual aspects, too
  • discover the sophisticated methods of aquatic farming, food preservation, and trade undertaken by the Gunditjmara people
  • uncover facts from the past that were excluded from history books, such as the origins of the game called ‘marngrook’
  • understand the impact of colonisation on Gunditjmara culture and language.

A great addition to your collection of First Nations resources

The content in this poster addresses the cross-curricular priority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Culture. It could also guide conversations with your students in conjunction with NAIDOC Week celebrations.
