Supporting cross-curriculum learning priorities with literacy resources

Working in collaboration with the National Museum of Australia, First Australians: Plenty Stories is a comprehensive series that draws on a range of sources to tell stories about significant issues facing Indigenous Australians. The series has been developed around three key themes: Our Places, Our Culture and Our Voices.

The Australian Curriculum lists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies as a cross-curriculum priority, allowing students to broaden their horizons by learning about the world's oldest continuous living cultures. This series supports the related curriculum priority with cross-curriculum resources that can be used for literacy, geography, history or cultural classes.
