Convicts – History Project is centered on a fifteen minute audio-visual narrative that combines drawings, narration, music and sound effects to give a broad overview of the Australian convict system.

- Why did the great journeys of exploration occur?
- What was life like for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples before the arrival of the Europeans?

and Year 5 – The Australian Colonies
- What do we know about the lives of people in Australia’s colonial past and how do we know?
- How did an Australian colony develop over time and why?
- How did colonial settlement change the environment?
- What were the significant events and who were the significant people that shaped Australian colonies?
