This course provides all students with the opportunity to explore and investigate the concept of culture.  Students will learn about the diversity of First Nations Peoples in Australia, in addition to the International First Nations Peoples, such as the Māori, the Dayak people of Borneo, the Inuit, the First Nations Peoples of North America, the Karen people of Burma, the Tibetan people, and/or the Khoikhoi peoples of South Africa.

The Aboriginal and Intercultural Studies General course is intended to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values to be active citizens at the local, national and global levels. These skills are also highly valued in today’s workplaces. The ability to work effectively in a culturally diverse environment is important in a wide range of vocational contexts. In addition to presentations and response tasks, a key part of the course will centre around providing students with the opportunity to collaborate around planning, designing, and implementing a culturally appropriate display and activity.  Students will also create educational resources that will be utilised to teach other students about the contribution of cultural expressions to the empowerment and resiliency of First Nations Peoples cultures and identities both in Australia and globally.
