About the school
Djidi Djidi Aboriginal School is located in the suburb of Glen Iris (Wardandi Country) and welcomes all children both Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal from Kindergarten to Year 6. The school is unique in that Aboriginal culture, content and ways of learning are at the forefront of our practice. The Djidi Djidi narrative is not one that shies away from the realities and disadvantage that affects many of the children and families who choose to send their children here.
Whilst acknowledging that challenges do exist, we do not subscribe to the deficit model that too often attempts to define Aboriginal people. Our school is filled with strong minds, strong cultures and a resilience that is inspiring. What we choose to do every day is to challenge the stereotypes that exist for all children of disadvantage and provide them with access to an engaging curriculum, opportunities and experiences at the right dose and intensity required for each individual child.
The Department is an equal opportunity employer and encourages people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and persons from culturally diverse backgrounds to apply.
