Exploring Dreamtime Through Archaeology: Year 7 HASS

Over the past few weeks, our Year 7 students have taken part in an engaging source analysis activity using a Dreamtime culture kit, deepening their understanding of Indigenous Australian heritage. This hands-on learning experience used artifacts to explore the significance of the Dreamtime in shaping cultural identity.

Through careful analysis of sources, students examined how archaeology uncovers the past and provides insight into the spiritual and historical connections of First Nations peoples to the land. By working with real and replica materials, they developed their critical thinking skills and gained a greater appreciation for the enduring legacy of Indigenous cultures.

We would like to thank Mr Arundell and the Year 7 HASS team for organising this engaging and meaningful learning experience.
