2.4 Understand and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia
'Alex trialled on behalf of the college a new simulation activity about South Australian history and the Aboriginal Nations that occupied the land prior to settlement. This was videotaped and used in an English faculty promotion.' (Gleeson Report).
At Gleeson college, through teaching Nanberry, I had the opportunity to explore the first settlement with a group of year 9s. This was a great experience for the students and I as we discussed the impact that settlement had brought to an existing culture on the land. One activity designed particularly to promote empathy and an understanding of Aboriginal displacement in South Australia was conducted with some success. The Powerpoint for the activity can be viewed below.
