Our community

In this section, we talk about how you can understand:

  • yourself
  • how you fit into our community.

We also talk about how some big ideas might affect you day‑to‑day.

This includes things that:

  • make you different to other people
  • you might share with other people in your life.

We talk about being

When something is accessible, it is easy to:

We also talk about being

When something is diverse, lots of different people take part in it.

This includes people with different:

  • ages
  • abilities
  • backgrounds
  • beliefs.

We also talk about

People might treat you differently because of more than one thing about who you are.

For example, because you:

  • are a First Nations person

and

  • have a disability.

We call this intersectionality.
