Aboriginal
Learners

At Long Street Primary School we celebrate and encourage expressions of identity, and strive for excellence for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
We have worked closely with the English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EALD) Team to identify and best support learners who speak Aboriginal English, in collaboration with our Aboriginal Community Engagement Officer (ACEO).
Our ACEO partners with Aboriginal students, their family, our local network and community to encourage all Aboriginal students to attend school regularly and engage in their learning so they may thrive in any desired pathway.
We celebrate how Aboriginal peoples have shared knowledge over thousands of years, enabling the world’s longest continuing culture to thrive. We highlight Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and knowledges throughout our Integrated Studies and select texts by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors for our Shared Reading experiences for all learners from Reception through to Year 6.
Eligible Aboriginal students with a passion in STEM are invited to the annual STEM Congress in Adelaide to inspire future learning and pathways so that they may become leaders in this field. This initiative aligns to the Department for Education’s Aboriginal Education Strategy. Learn more: Aboriginal Education Strategy.
