Aboriginal Education
At Casula Public School, we value the cultures and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Out of our 627 students, 28 identify as Aboriginal, and their stories are an important part of our school community.
We want every child to feel proud of who they are and where they come from. Our staff work hard to include Aboriginal perspectives in everyday learning and celebrate special events and achievements.
We believe that working closely with families and our local community makes our school stronger. We also want all parents and carers to know that we are here to support every student, helping them to feel safe, respected, and confident.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and look forward to continuing to build positive partnerships and opportunities for our students and their families.
Casula Public School's Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a formal commitment to reconciliation. It documents how your school or early learning service will strengthen relationships, respect and opportunities in the classroom, around the school/service and with the community.
Our vision for reconciliation is to foster a culturally safe, inclusive, and equitable learning environment built on mutual respect, meaningful relationships, and shared responsibility. We are committed to strengthening trust and collaboration between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians within our school community.
We would love you to join our RAP and walk with us towards reconciliation. You can read more about Casula's RAP here.
Nura Groups
Nura Groups provide students with a meaningful opportunity to explore and engage with Aboriginal culture in a respectful and enriching way. Through a blend of history, music, art, and the study of cultural artifacts, students develop a deeper understanding of Australia’s First Nations peoples and their enduring connection to land, community, and tradition.
In these sessions, students learn about significant historical events and perspectives, while also experiencing the richness of Aboriginal culture through creative expression. They explore traditional and contemporary music, create artworks inspired by Aboriginal styles and storytelling, and examine artifacts that reflect daily life, spirituality, and cultural practices.
Nura Groups foster curiosity, respect, and cultural awareness, helping students build a stronger sense of identity and appreciation for the diversity of Australia’s heritage.
