This
programme introduces Year 4 students to the intersection of work readiness, and
early primary school social studies learning objectives, including how citizens
benefit from and contribute to a community’s success, and the part they play in
it.
Children discover the identity of a community, its activities, its people and
jobs. In a simple manner, pupils also study the social responsibility of a
business, and the role of government in the economy.
Classes are delivered in-person by JA volunteers, over the course of four
hours, and are available upon request, throughout the scholastic year. The
sessions can be delivered separately,
should time constraints be an issue.
Programme
outcomes include the ability to:
- Describe a community
- Identify the variety of careers people have in a community, and how each job
requires specific skills
- Identify how business and government jobs help a community
- Explain how taxation supports government services
- Recognise voting as a way for responsible citizens to act, and make their
voice heard
- Describe the basic flow of money in a community’s economy
