What’s happening in Year 6
Artefact Documentary Task – 06CORE 1
As a culmination of their inquiry into Australia’s Perspective – Immigration, the girls were required to select a culturally and historically significant artefact that accurately tells their family’s migratory story.
The girls used the artefact as a springboard for their study, culminating in a multi-modal documentary, showcasing the story behind the item.
Inquiry questions included:
- Why did the family member migrate?
- Where did they come from and what was their method of migration?
- What challenges did they encounter when they arrived in Australia?
- How did they feel about their decision to migrate?
- What was their cultural contribution to Australian society?
They were required to adopt a perspective of a family member or narrator to tell their family’s unique and personal story.

PDH UNIT – 6CORE 4
As a part of our PDH unit, Hello 000, the girls were asked to create and present an advertisement to introduce either a new non-alcoholic beverage or a campaign to promote the benefits of quitting smoking.
What an incredible array of advertisements were created! We had television commercials, posters, billboards, radio commercials, podcasts, instagram reels and other social media advertisements. The creativity of the girls, in addition to their knowledge of the topic, understanding of the health benefits and ability to persuade an audience, was so fantastic to see. I think we might have some future budding advertising executives on our hands!
