Overcoming Adversity
During life we encounter many challenges. Some of these can become quite overwhelming. As you grow, establish relationships and try to make your own way in life. How do we turn challenges into opportunities and deal with issues or problems created when things don't turn out quite the way we expect?
Dealing with Difference
The theme of this unit is ‘Celebrating Diversity'. Students will examine and clarify their personal values and attitudes towards people of diverse backgrounds, challenge negative community attitudes and investigate the impact of discrimination, harassment and vilification. Strong links to sexuality and homophobia are made throughout this unit.
