Year 6 Community Projects

Our Year 6 students have begun their Community Project, exploring how everyday people can have a voice and create positive change in their community. Students are identifying issues that matter to them and investigating how decisions are made and who has the power to create change. They will explore how a community concern can gain support, reach government representatives or other community action groups, and potentially progress through the political system to the point where new laws or changes to existing laws can be considered in Parliament. 

This learning will then come to life during our upcoming Canberra trip, where students will see firsthand how Australia’s political and democratic processes operate. By connecting their own community projects with what they experience in Canberra, students will develop a deeper understanding of how community voice can grow into action and potentially influence change at the highest levels of government.
