The teaching ideas presented in the PDF (right) were originally conceived for the Australian Curriculum 7-10 Civics and Citizenship. The subsequent Victorian Curriculum: Civics and Citizenship is closely aligned, however, so this material can be used for schools subscribing to either curriculum structure.
Specific links to Victorian Curriculum curriculum standards include: Explain how Australia’s international legal obligations shape Australian law and government policies, including in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (VCCCL032) Describe the key features of Australia’s court system, including jurisdictions and how courts apply and interpret the law, resolve disputes and make law through judgments, and describe the role of the High Court in interpreting the Constitution (VCCCL033) Discuss challenges to and ways of sustaining a resilient democracy and cohesive society(VCCCC036) |
