The program is designed to support the Australian curriculum, including HSIE and PDHPE, with links to the understanding of diversity, creative thinking, critical thinking and values promoting a fair and just society.
The program included:
- An introductory historical presentation provided background to WWII and the Holocaust, with a particular focus on the role of the rescuer.
- A Holocaust survivor, ‘living historian’, shared their experiences with students, emphasising the story of their rescue and support provided by others – the support which enabled them to survive.
- An interactive workshop invited students to examine the roles of the bystander and upstander. Students discuss some of the roadblocks to becoming an upstander and become aware of their own ability to make a difference in their own worlds.
RBSC would like to thank Ms Kremmer, Ms Westbrook, Ms Stern, Ms Bright and Mr Wright for organising the delivery of the highly engaging and important Courage to Care Program.
