ACT+OF+PARLIAMENT

PAST PROJECTS FROM ST MATTHEW'S PRIMARY SCHOOL

A range of projects demonstrating multimodal learning approaches.



'An Act Of Parliament' is a short musical developed by 3 Catholic Melbourne Primary Schools in 2007 in partnership with Parliament of Victoria, and the Federal Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) It has been distributed by DIAC on request, to over 5,000 Australian schools. It has been recognized as a useful resource in the study of Civics and Citizenship in Primary Schools throughout Australia. It tracks the story of a group of schoolchildren who are not allowed to take their pet cat into the school grounds. The children march on Parliament to change the unfair rules and learn a lot about democracy from the whole experience.
