Lesson Summary
Retired AFL star Adam Goodes is known to many for his resilient journey in the face of detrimental treatment by AFL spectators and the media beginning in 2013.
In this lesson, students explore the benefits of participation in sports and consider how the treatment of Adam Goodes restricted his participation and led to his retirement. Through further inquiry into the spectator and media actions and impacts, students consider the rules and boundaries that are broken when people engage in racist behaviour, especially when that behaviour goes unchallenged.
Students view excerpts from the acclaimed 2019 documentary The Final Quarter as a starting point to brainstorm health, safety, and wellbeing in the context of sport, school, and life. Students consider the impact of racist behaviour on wellbeing.
