History of Religious Belief in Australia Lesson

In this lesson, students will learn about the evolution of religious beliefs in Australia from the arrival of European settlers in 1788 to the present day, examining how various waves of immigration and social changes have shaped the country’s diverse religious landscape. They will explore key concepts such as Indigenous spirituality, the impact of European colonization, the introduction of different faiths through immigration, and the rise of secularism in modern Australia. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
