Educational Objectives

There is no doubt that the objectives contained in FDAS fall into line with the educational objectives of all our education associations.

It is particularly relevant in many subject areas but particularly in PD/ H /PE.

This program would achieve universal support from administrators, teachers and parents.

The objectives would include an understanding at the appropriate developmental age of children from 4 years - 18 years:

• What is fair dinkum aussie spirit?
• Treating people as equal irrespective of:
• age / ability / male  / female / rich / poor / race / appearance / beliefs / birthplace.
• Understanding values such as:
• respect / responsibility / honest / caring / friendly / fair
• Understanding guidelines such as:
• safe / clean / sustainable / honest / fair / anti social behaviour / independent / empathy / friendly.
• Support aspects such as the local community.
• Improve levels of personal fitness by not smoking / sensible diet / regular fitness activity.
• Understand personal problem solving strategies.
• Drink / drive and gamble responsibly.
• Appreciate our Aboriginal Heritage.

All of the above could easily be covered by both general and individual school work sheets which would be easily produced by teachers in the field and approved by the various curriculum bodies.
