Enhancing the educational outcomes of Indigenous Australian (includes both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) students and ensuring that all school students are taught Indigenous Australian studies appropriately are priorities in contemporary education across Australia. This subject provides foundational knowledge and experiences that assist students to recognise underpinning principles that apply to effective partnership with Indigenous communities, and reflect on their own practice and how it might contribute to meeting the diverse requirements of Indigenous Australian students. Issues such as integrating Indigenous Australian perspectives across Key Learning Areas, historical educational experiences, the nature and impact of policy, post-colonialism and the foundational status of Indigenous Australians are explored.
