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 discuss the meaning of, and relationship between, equality and equity. This understanding is developed through a consideration of the Uluru Statement from the Heart in relation to equity. After viewing a video about a successful health project in a remote Aboriginal community, students consider the relationship of their school with their local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and seek to connect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members and local community organisations to work alongside them in pursuing their unique needs and aspirations.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand that relationships and commitment to the community are key in building trust and safety within a community and, reciprocally, that trust and safety in a community are key to building relationships
- understand the importance of actively listening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to support them in achieving their needs and aspirations
- understand that they can take individual and collective action to ensure that all people in their community feel safe, valued, protected by law, and free from racism and other forms of persecution
Success criteria
Students can:
- explain why relationships and commitment are important for trust and safety
- explain the connection between listening to people from a community and meeting the needs of that community
- invite a connection with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community representatives
