Aim

The aim of the Aboriginal Studies Life Skills 11–12 Syllabus is consistent with the aim of the Aboriginal Studies 11–12 Syllabus. The Aboriginal Studies aim is provided below.

Aboriginal Studies 11–12 aims to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of the histories and Cultures of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and international Indigenous Peoples. It supports students to recognise and respect Knowledges and Practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the oldest living, continuous Cultures in the world. The concept of shared histories enables students to become active and informed citizens in promoting a just society for all Australians.
