This rap features Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices reflecting on identity, belonging, family and how each student can aim for the stars. Students from Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal backgrounds will read short factual texts by Aboriginal authors and then write about:
- Where my family comes from (the importance of cultural background and belonging)
- Famous people who inspire me (qualities which build a strong identity and positive actions)
- Someone who inspires me to be the best I can be (role of a mentor who believes in us)
- What I want to be when I grow up (aim for the stars, goals, overcoming obstacles)
The rap discussion focuses on the following texts. Please print these out for your students to read and discuss each week

For Task 3, Rap point 2: Extracts from Deadly Vibe magazine
For Task 4, Rap point 3: Respect – Encouragement – Action
