Inquiry

Through the ‘Museums in Motion’ unit, students will learn about the events and people who shaped Australia. Students will learn about what life was like for different groups of people in the colonial period. They examine significant events and people, political and economic developments, social structures and settlement patterns. Students will use what they have learnt about the diverse origins of immigrants and place themselves ‘within their shoes’ as they participate in conversations about our history.
