These resources are part of our The Final Quarter Curriculum Resources, created in collaboration with Shark Island Productions, the Australian Human Rights Commission, Reconciliation Australia, Narragunnawali and The Final Quarter.

This HASS unit for Years 7 & 8, Racism & Responsibility, is designed to

  • support students in understanding the impact of racism in sports

  • examine how racism affected Adam Goodes and can alter the participation and well-being of athletes

  • build critical analysis skills by interrogating spectator and media behaviours, their rules and boundaries and the consequences of these actions going unchallenged

  • explore the role of policies in maintaining health, safety and anti-racism efforts within organizations like the AFL

  • engage students in role-playing activities to understand how racism affects individual and community well-being

  • foster discussions about the balance between equality and equity, particularly in policy development and implementation

  • use The Final Quarter as a stimulus for developing deeper understanding of institutional racism’s effects on individuals

  • promote emotional safety and cultural awareness within the classroom to support discussions on sensitive issues such as racism and discrimination.
