The program supports schools across Western Australia to promote cultural learning and understanding and foster connections between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community members.
In this round of funding, grants have been awarded to 21 schools to develop impactful projects that enrich students’ knowledge of Aboriginal histories, cultures, and achievements.
Administered by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) the program also aims to promote acceptance of and respect for diversity and the value of Aboriginal perspectives, as well as advancing the common journey towards healing and reconciliation.
All WA primary and secondary schools as well as Department of Education-funded kindergartens are eligible to apply for up to $5,000. Categories include arts, community relationships, connecting to country and culture, inclusive environments, history, and language.
Applications are now open for the 2024 Term 4 round of funding and will close on 28 November 2024.
