Engaging with Different Cultures @ Lilydale West

The newly introduced Australian Curriculum (AUSVELS) includes a number of cross curriculum priority areas, with one of these being 'Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia.'  This is quite exciting for a number of reasons.  Studies that have investigated the long-term benefits of exposing children to a variety of cultures are telling us that:

• Children who are taught to respect cultural differences become well-adjusted adults.
• Familiarizing young children to diverse cultures at an early age promotes better development.
• Introducing children to a variety of backgrounds and ethnic traditions prepares them to be more productive in the classroom and in the workplace.
