Student Support

Short and Curly

Things have been pretty challenging lately. No matter how COVID 19 has affected you, it would have raised many issues with lots of questions. 

Here’s something a little different that deals with all sorts of interesting questions  in which the whole family can participate. There’s a wonderful podcast produced by the ABC that invites families to discuss and reflect upon a whole range of tricky questions. 

Short and Curly takes a lighthearted look at life’s conundrums and helps you unpack the curly questions with input from brains-trust, Matt Beard (ethicist) and lots of primary school students. The show also features a thought-provoking and engaging "pause function" where you stop the show and have a family discussion about the issue.

So, rather than telling kids how they should think and behave, Short & Curly asks them to consider the different sides of everyday ethical and philosophical dilemmas in a super fun way.

Here’s one for you to try. I’d love to hear about the discussions these have prompted.
