Commitment to cultural opportunities
Enhancing the experience for all students
SAE seeks to embed opportunities for cross-cultural enrichment into its curriculum through its Collaborative Project-Based Learning Curriculum and International Exchange Programs.
SAE aims to integrate the stories and practices of Australia's first peoples into our curriculum and assessment practices as a regular theme, retelling the stories of Australia's first people through creative media to ensure that these stories can be told for generations to come.
If you would like to work with SAE on developing, student-driven, creative projects then please contact your local SAE campus to discuss further.
