Can you imagine a world without discrimination? – Year 6 Showcase

The Year 6 students have been busy this term preparing for Showcase! Our Collaborative Learning Project (CLP) unit this term was called ‘Inclusion Over Time’, where we investigated diverse groups that make up Australian communities, the ways in which they have experienced discrimination over time and how we can create a more positive and inclusive future. These groups included women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disabilities, refugees and migrants and the LGBTQIA+ community. Each student then chose one of these groups, created three inquiry questions to focus their research around and then set to work becoming experts in this topic.

After a month of preparation, on Monday 12 September 2022, the Year 6 families were welcomed into the Year 6 Centre to see and interact with the incredible Showcase stalls. Creativity, innovation and lively discussion filled the room as students shared their knowledge through websites, videos, podcasts, games, infographics, interviews, picture books, models, posters and much more! The students also performed a song from their upcoming musical, some persuasive speeches and a variety of tasks from their specialist classes. The evening was enjoyed by all!
