Our Mission & Philosophy

Jessie’s Classroom exists to support Australian teachers in sharing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture with respect, confidence, and joy.

Indigenous-led

This is an Indigenous-owned and Indigenous-created resource. Everything in Jessie’s Classroom comes directly from the lived experience, knowledge, and creativity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It’s about centering Indigenous voices, perspectives, and ways of teaching.

Culturally Safe

We understand that many teachers feel nervous about “getting it wrong.” Our approach is gentle, practical, and encouraging. Jessie’s Classroom provides tools, guidance, and songs designed to help create culturally safe learning environments for both students and teachers.

Music as the Gateway to Learning

Music is a powerful way to connect people, share stories, and pass on knowledge. Songs are easy to remember, fun to sing, and deeply woven into Indigenous culture. Jessie’s Classroom uses music as the entry point for learning — opening the door to language, history, and respectful conversation in your classroom.

We, Jessie's Classroom , acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the unceded lands and waters where we live, the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders past, present, and future; and honour the spiritual, cultural, and political connection to this unique place that has been ongoing for more than 2000 generations.© 2025 Jessie's Classroom.
