Types of Migration: A summary by Emma Room 11

Posted on February 11, 2018 by danilaw

There are 3 main groups of migration (family, skilled and humanitarian). 67% of migrants are skilled and looking for jobs. The criteria needed is to have English ability, qualifications and work experience. For people to get into family stream, migrants must have close family in Australia already. There is no type of test to get into Australia if a migrant is coming because of family. Humanitarian program helps refugees in need of a safe place to live. 3 reasons why this program is needed is because of war, famine or persecution. This program protects refugees in and out of Australia. In 2008-2009, 13,507 people were helped in Australia and 11,010 people were helped in their own country.

Multicultural Celebration – A Collaborative Inquiry Project – Year 5 and 6 – 2018

Posted on January 30, 2018 by danilaw

In Week 8 we plan to hold a Multicultural Celebratory Event to celebrate the diversity of our community. The Year 5/6 students will lead our community event with the aim to involve as many people in our community as possible – adults and students in fun, active, informative, engaging cultural activities. (Dancing, food demonstrations, listening to story telling, puppet shows, sports/ games, music, demonstrations, etc.)

Your challenge is to research cultural practices/ traditions/ activities that could be part of our Multicultural event. You will then, in small groups, need to plan, design, and lead small groups of participants in your activity. How will you engage/ inform/ entertain your audience/ participants?

Aim to highlight/ enact our school values of: Community, Diversity, Opportunity and Creativity.
