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.

ACTF Education Outreach: Pre-service Teacher Visits

As part of our ongoing outreach to schools, teachers and pre-service teachers, ACTF Education recently hosted three groups of pre-service teachers from Australian Catholic University.

The third-year students shared their experiences from recent teaching rounds, including the use of screen content in their teaching – both to illustrate concepts, and to study as visual texts. Focussing on senior secondary English this semester, these pre-service teachers and their lecturers were also eager to learn about our content and support materials relevant to secondary students.

The ACTF Education team introduced content including the MY:24 series and related filmmaking app, our range of freely available study guides, and additional support materials including our webinars with industry professionals.

If you are a pre-service teacher or academic wanting to arrange a 2018 group visit to the ACTF, or a virtual session with our education team, please contact: janine.kelly@actf.com.au.
