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 will complete a role-play as the AFL Committee on Player Wellbeing and consider appropriate responses to the ongoing booing of Adam Goodes from a variety of perspectives. Students will be introduced to the concept of workplace health and safety and the role of policies in achieving health and safety outcomes. They will become familiar with the role of advisors, and consider how wellbeing policies are applied in practice by decision makers and what other factors come into play.
Through using The Final Quarter as stimulus, students will gain a deeper understanding of the ways institutional racism and discrimination affect individuals and why equitable policies need to exist to protect and include minority groups.
