In this unit, students explore the importance of rivers for nourishing ecosystems and facilitating trade in First Nations communities both pre and post colonisation. They make diagrams, create comparative frameworks, and reimagine environmentally sustainable futures using digital design technologies.

Students explore concepts of resilience, determination and perseverance. They discuss their personal and social responsibilities to care for others and the environment.

Students develop an understanding of animal life cycles, body systems, structural adaptations and behaviours, with a particular focus on Australian marsupials.

Students examine the impact of animal production on society and explore the ethical, environmental, economic and social factors associated with these industries.

Students will engage with the film Gumby Gumby to learn more about Traditional Bush medicines.
