Sources from Kinchela
History Stages 4 -5

Rationale

There's a pressing need for educational resources that include the voices of Aboriginal Peoples and Survivors of the Stolen Generations. These perspectives are integral for a comprehensive and authentic understanding of Australia's history, and are crucial to respect for principles of self-determination and representation.

Kinchela Boys Home has therefore developed a series of Aboriginal-led Syllabus Packages and Lesson Plans to assist teachers in delivering nuanced and culturally-informed content across the History, English and Aboriginal Studies curricula, that seek to foster empathy, truth telling, healing and active reconciliation.

About this Resource

Covering Outcomes HT4-5, HT4-6, HT4-9, HT5-5, and HT5-9 of the Stage 4 and 5 History Syllabi, this resource provides a range of important primary sources from survivors of the Kinchela Boys Home. Explicitly situating the sources within a discussion around source perspective, limitation, usefulness and reliability, the resource includes a 12-page student activity book that cultivates careful and critical source analysis skills in both short-answer and extended format.

The lesson plan contains:

• 1 PDF for teachers
• 1 PDF for students
