@sj3208552 Great point! It is important also to provide students with opportunities to learn about The Australian Aboriginal Culture, as it allows them to build an understanding and respect for the similarities and differences between the cultures (Llopart & Esteban-Guitart, 2017) #UoNTeach

The involvement of family and community is important for a student to excel and be successful in the classroom. It is crucial that educators are able to appropriately utilise those in the community as assets and also as a valuable source to help the students continuously grow.
