TOPIC 6: Depth Study 3: The Experiences of Aboriginal Colonisation

Rationale: The core depth study Aboriginal Peoples’ experiences of colonisation in Australia focuses on enhancing students’ historical knowledge and skills through an immersive study of Aboriginal Peoples’ experiences of colonisation in Australia. This knowledge builds on content studied in sources of evidence on how people lived in the first penal settlement at Sydney Cove (HSIE Stage 2) and can be enriched through a choice of a case study or site study.
