2/3CW Inquiry 

Ms Williamson

This week in Inquiry 2/3 CW have been analysing significant symbols in Australian culture. 

 

In order to do this we explored the significant symbols on our Indigenous, Australian and Torres Strait Islander flags. Students were encouraged to consider the purpose of these flags, as well as their historical and geographical importance. Through analysing the flags the students made connections between other countries who have the Union Jack on their flags, and discussed why and how this happened. They also considered how the development of the Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander flags was pivotal in uniting its people in protest. The class discussed whether they believe the Australian flag should be amended to include all the flags into one, and considered arguments both for and against this change.
