Learning objectives

In this lesson, students will learn about the complex history of Indigenous Australian reserves, missions, and stations, including their establishment, management, and the profound impact they had on First Nations communities. They will also explore the long-term effects of these institutions on Indigenous culture, language, and societal integration, gaining insight into the ongoing challenges and resilience of Australia's First Nations peoples. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
