How to Use It in Your Classroom

Use the template as a starting point for discussions about Country, culture, connection, community, and respect. Collaboratively develop an acknowledgement with students that reflects your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, perspectives, and understandings. Display the completed acknowledgement in a prominent location and revisit its meaning regularly throughout the year.

Curriculum Alignment and Learning Outcomes

Students develop an understanding of the significance of Country and the ongoing connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have to the land, waters, skies, cultures, and communities. The co-construction process encourages reflection, discussion, empathy, respect, and deeper engagement with First Nations perspectives and histories.

Create an Acknowledgement of Country that reflects your classroom community, honours First Nations Peoples, and supports authentic learning through collaboration and reflection. Simply edit, print, and display.
