Aboriginal Education
At Campbellfield Public School, we take pride in providing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education to all students. We believe all students have a right to learn about the history of Australia’s First Nations peoples. Our school celebrates and recognises significant dates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture such as the National Apology Anniversary and NAIDOC Week.
Our Aboriginal learning culture
Campbellfield Public School has a positive focus on Aboriginal culture. We encourage all our students to learn about and value traditional Aboriginal culture and history, whilst ensuring our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students strive to achieve their fullest academic potential. We use Personalised Learning Pathways (PLPs) to set goals for our students. These PLPs build a meaningful relationship between students, teachers and parents and are monitored and updated throughout the year.
As a school we place significance on important calendar dates throughout the year, using these days as opportunities to teach about our countries’ past and for students to learn about cultural traditions and Australian history. Some significant calendar days our school acknowledge are Reconciliation Week, Sorry Day, and NAIDOC Week.
We place importance on our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students learning, and growing in their confidence of their culture at Campbellfield PS. We have dedicated learning spaces such as our yarning circle and our Culture Classroom that our students can go to and learn from each other and our dedicated staff. Additionally, we aspire for all students at our school to feel confident and capable to share their culture with their peers. We provide opportunities for all students at our school to visit and learn in these spaces regularly.
Teachers at our school also continue to grow and develop their understanding of and confidence in delivering content that encompasses Aboriginal history and culture. It is our vision that all students learn and value the importance of Aboriginal culture.
