We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners of lands across Australia, their Elders, Ancestors, cultures and heritage, and recognise the continuing sovereignties of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations.

We respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which the ACTF is based and pay our respect to their Elders past and present.

We are honoured to have the opportunity to learn from the oldest cultural storytellers in the world and seek to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to share their rich culture and perspectives with children in Australia and around the world via stories on screen.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices or names of deceased persons in photographs, film, audio recordings or text.

About ACTF Learning

The ACTF has championed the production of quality media especially for Australian children for over 40 years. ACTF Learning supports teachers and students engaging with this wealth of local content in educational contexts.

As a national organisation, the ACTF develops learning resources which align to the Australian Curriculum. Search ACTF Resources by age level, curriculum area and theme to find engaging Foundation – Year 10 lesson plans for English, Humanities and Social Sciences, Civics and Citizenship, History, Geography, Health and Physical Education, Science, Media Arts, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, Critical and Creative Thinking, Ethical Capability, Intercultural Capability, Personal and Social Capability, and more. Teachers will also find cross-curricular resources to draw on for student inquiries into communities, safety, teamwork, leadership, consent and respectful relationships, and more.

Through curated clips, discussion starters and learning tasks, these resources develop students’ understanding of text construction and themes, to support teachers in meeting curriculum requirements.
