3. NAIDOC Expo

In this scenario based project Joseph Banks Secondary College has asked the Year 9’s to be responsible for organising a NAIDOC event on Thursday 1 July. The NAIDOC event will take place in the quadrangle area between Endeavour and Discovery buildings and run from recess until the end of lunch. Stalls will be set up either in your communities, and some will be outside in the quadrangle area between Discovery and Endeavour buildings. A panel consisting of some of our indigenous students and staff will select the stalls to operate in the quad area. Students whose stalls are selected will operate them from recess to lunch so that all students have an opportunity to see the stalls

All students will be expected to submit:

• Minutes and agendas of all meetings (minimum of three meetings to be held)
• Each student’s draft proposal of a complete stall idea
• A detailed final plan of stall plan
• Final implementation of your idea (observation)
• Evaluation of project success and what you would do differently
