In this unit students will study their school and consider its management. Students will make posters highlighting a management issue at the school, e.g. Wear Your Hat, No Littering etc. Students will work in from global to local scales by first considering the arrival of Aboriginal People in Australia during the Ice Age. Consideration of strategies for managing the environment used by Aboriginal People, will lead on to a discussion of the local Aboriginal Group.

An excursion around the school is undertaken in week 5. Students will consider many aspects of the school and its grounds and then design posters highlighting particular issues. These posters should be displayed at the school at the conclusion of this unit. Students consider both current and future management of the school and suggest issues to be considered. Students then reflect on this activity and consider how future management might be undertaken.

Students will complete an Excursion Workbook, which contains basic activities to be undertaken before, during, or after the excursion.
