Last semester 6W explored our History unit around Australian Colonies through the platform of Challenge Based Learning. CBL is an initiative of Apple Education that uses technology in real ways to identify needs in our communities and take action to meet those needs.
Our big idea for Semester One was Tolerance.
We explored what tolerance means and the essential question of how British colonisation of Australia shaped our views of people from different cultures.
After much research about the different cultures that contributed to shaping our nation, and how people from those cultures were treated when they first came to Australia in the 1800s, we explored ways to meet the challenge How can we increase tolerance towards people from other cultures in our Northern Beaches community?

6W students worked in groups to contribute to a class Weebly (website) as a solution to this challenge.
Please visit the website to explore the findings of our 6W students. We hope the website will help get you thinking about the wonderful contributions that people from a variety of cultures have made to the multicultural Australia that we are today.
