Congratulations to Borden PS for being recognised for their work in Reconciliation.
Having no indigenous students at the school did not stop the school undertaking an
exciting project to investigate the town’s rich Nyoongar history.

Indigenous Perspectives
|
Following the completion of the Stage Three units, Primary Connections has launched the Indigenous Perspectives section within the Primary Connections website.
Included on the website are the indigenous perspectives framework and the site also incorporates information and links to many of the Primary Connections units, and to each chapter of the Connecting Minds DVD.
The framework contains six key concept areas which are non-hierarchical and interconnected, and includes: a teaching and learning guide; curriculum unit links to relevant Indigenous perspectives; and a professional learning module to support teachers’ development and implementation of relevant, contextualised and embedded Indigenous perspectives.
The units are accessed by clicking on the relevant headings.
