In the Australian Curriculum: English, students begin to engage with the priority as they develop an awareness and appreciation of, and respect for, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander literature. This includes storytelling traditions (oral narrative) and contemporary literature. Students will learn to develop respectful, critical understandings of the social, historical and cultural contexts associated with different uses of language features and text structures including images and visual language.

Race relations - involves all Australians understanding and valuing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous cultures, resulting in stronger relationships based on trust and respect that are free of racism.

Race relations is an important competency for any teacher to incorporate in their approach to indigenous education. Being respectful and incorporating individual ideas from multiple races and cultures is an important part of any classroom.

Equality and equity - recognising the distinction between ‘sameness’ and ‘fairness’; advocating for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to participate equally and equitably in a range of life opportunities, including education. This dimension upholds the unique rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, with a focus on respecting, protecting and promoting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.

Equality and equity when approaching indigenous education is another important competency of any teacher. The promotion and demonstration of respect for this competency is key as a teacher because promotion indigenous culture and its depth will encourage students to understand and respect indigenous culture in a more well rounded way.

Unity – by definition involves all Australians valuing the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritages as part of a shared national identity.

Institutional integrity - the active support for reconciliation across the nation’s political, business, educational and community structures.

Unity is another important competency for any teacher as unity creates a safe space and mutual understanding of any subject matter. Often, indigenous history especially, can be a tough and grim subject, and addressing this content in a way that promotes the culture rather than playing down or disrespecting the severity of the history, will create a clearer and more unified dialogue.
