Check understanding
- Name the First Nations Australian people on whose Country/Place the school stands, using information the school has confirmed (e.g. from its Acknowledgement of Country)
- Join in an Acknowledgement of Country and explain that it shows respect for the Traditional Owners and Custodians
- Explain that Country/Place is important to First Nations Australians because it is connected to their family, culture and identity, and that people care for it
“Does your child know whose Country their school is on — and can they explain why an Acknowledgement of Country is said at assemblies?”
