There are four main themes of Netd@ys Oz 2003.
My Place
The My Place theme gives you the opportunity to reflect on your place
in Australia or part of the world - within your community, your school,
your home, your town or city ...
Populations on the Move
Populations on the Move will give opportunities to investigate Australian
identity. Students will:
-
explain the significance of particular people, groups, places, actions
and events in the past in developing an Australian identity and heritage.
-
describe different cultural influences and their contribution to
Australian identities
-
explain how cultures change through interactions with other cultures
and the environment
-
describes communities and their global interconnection, recognising
global responsibilities, cultural influences and their contribution
to Australian identities.
Gifts we Bring
Australia is a wonderful place with many people from all over the world
who consider it home. The activities and discussion under this theme will
aim to encourage us all to celebrate the wealth of 'gifts' that we as
a nation have from all people. It makes no difference whether you are
3rd or 4th generation Australians or new arrivals or Indigenous Australians
or often seen as disadvantaged due to some disability, everyone has gifts
to offer this nation.
Making Connections - celebrating diversity
Making Connections provide students with an opportunity to:
-
(a) tell others about themselves (interests, lifestyle and families)
and their community,
-
(b) discover information about the people and communities in other
areas of Australia (cultural, lifestyle and geographic diversity).
Aims include students being encouraged to:
-
pay attention to and consider the contributions and viewpoints of
others when sharing ideas and opinions;
-
use constructive strategies to develop ways in which conflicts might
be resolved;
-
develop experience of and understanding of the importance of fulfilling
group responsibilities, and actively support other group members;
and
-
use appropriate language that is sensitive to audience and culture.
