Post-War Australia Lesson
Learning objectives
In this lesson, students will examine the dramatic shift in Australia's immigration policies after World War II, exploring how fears about population size and national defence drove the government to recruit migrants from across Europe. They will also investigate the key programs and figures behind this effort, tracing how schemes like the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme and the Snowy Mountains Scheme helped transform Australia into one of the world's most culturally varied nations. 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.
