Links to Curriculum/Syllabus

This site is designed for stage 2, year 4 students to deepen their understanding of Garrigarrang – Sea Country. It is used before and also after the visit to the Australian Museum. The site looks at key ideas – sustainability, connection to Country, and using resources responsibly. It links to HS2-GEO-01 because students get to see how First Nations peoples interact with their environments. HS2-ACH-01 is linked through the focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural perspectives. The cross-curriculum priority here includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures and sustainability, which is built into the sea country focus. General capabilities include critical and creative thinking, intercultural understanding and personal, ethical understanding and social capability. They happen when students enage in group discussion, share and individual reflection.
