Changing Worlds: Childrens’ Experiences Of Colonisation
The program hits the curriculum links of First Contacts (life for Indigenous Australians pre- and post-contact) and asks the following Inquiry Questions
- Who lived here first and how do we know?
- How have laws affected the lives of people, past and present?
This program focuses on the lives of children both pre and post colonization in South Australia including the experience of children at The Native School Establishment that was on this very site in the 1845-51. As such it provides a unique real life example of First Contact. This program also includes the opportunity for your students to “dress up “ in the uniforms provided by the colonial administrators of the school which the Kaurna students were required to wear when attending the school . This, along with other components of the program serve to provide students with an insight into the experience of the children who attended this school.
In order to ensure students view all the galleries after the program, teachers are invited to spend an extra 15 to 30 minutes unguided.
