It was great that we got to explore deep meanings into privilege, bias and even prejudice, because they are in our society and our world globally. It is important because of how much it can relate to us and our community. We discussed a class definition that we could look back to when we forgot what it means or just when we just need some revision. By Georgia B
I want to know more about what the children and people living in the slums realise what position they are in or their circumstance I want to know if there’s more then just fundraising that can help safeguard their futures and most importantly that they are able to live amazing, healthy, happy lives.I think that this inquiry unit really opened our eyes and our minds to what is really happening beyond our happy world we call Australia and our home, I think this inquiry unit is most definitely going to stay with us for the rest of our lives making us think deeper than ever before, I think this inquiry unit will influence our decisions and their consequences greatly.

I noticed that most people have been discriminated against because when we did an activity and we split up into two
groups and more people were in the group that where for people that have been discriminated against.I want to know more about the types of people that get discriminated against because it’s not good to just assume that someone has been discriminated against. By Austin TL

This inquiry unit has really expanded my knowledge on everything to do with Refugees, Migrants, Asylum seekers and many more. I have learnt about their sometimes treacherous journeys on their way to find a forever home in a foreign country. I have also learnt the reasons they move. For example, a Refugee is forced to leave because of things like, war, persecution, human rights, violence, e.t.c. Overall I absolutely loved this PYP unit and want to further expand on it, I also loved the creative element in this unit. Freya
One thing that I really enjoyed during this UOI was unpacking all of the main ideas and interesting words to create a better understanding of them. I enjoyed the BTN episodes and the creative piece gallery walk, because it helped me learn the differences of a refugees and migrants, and why they leave there home country. I enjoyed this UOI and all the elements within it. Alessasndra
For the refugee UOI, I have learnt that there is a difference between refugees, migrants, immigrants e.t.c. I know this because a refugee is someone who is forced to flee their country for reasons like war, violence and many more. Where as a migrant leaves for work, money, jobs, marriage e.t.c. One thing that I really enjoyed about this UOI is watching all the different videos about refugees, migrants and asylums seekers. I really found it interesting how some of the different people that are refugees have become a citizen of their new country, that they fled to. Hollie
