Australia’s Past, Present and Future – IDU

In Interdisciplinary Studies, students have begun looking at Australia’s past. They researched about Australia’s First Nations people and the importance of their traditions and cultures to our national identity. Students learnt about European Settlement, including significant people, events and what life was like in the early settlements. They explored the impact of this settlement on First Nations people and their cultures and traditions. Furthermore, students looked at Australia’s present-day society, including our democratic system of Government, multiculturalism, issues impacting First Nations people, population density and Australia’s connections with other countries. To culminate the unit, students worked in groups to focus on one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and designed a solution to help achieve the goal by 2030.
