In Term 4, the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) will deliver professional learning workshops to support teachers to use the Year 9 teaching and learning exemplar, ‘The Pinjarra Massacre: Truth-telling’.

These workshops provide a valuable opportunity for teachers to engage with ‘The Pinjarra Massacre: Truth-telling. An apology on October 28, 2025 to the Bindjareb Noongar people by His Excellency the Honourable Chris Dawson AC APM Governor of Western Australia’.

Workshops will be available in metropolitan and regional locations, with both in-person and online options.

There is no cost to attend; however, places are limited and registration is essential.

Register for a half-day workshop on the Authority's Events page at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/news-and-events/all-events.

Further information on the workshops is available in Edition 8 of this Circular at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/7to12-circulars/edition-8-august-2026.

The teaching resources, including the Year 9 History teaching and learning exemplar – The Pinjarra Massacre: Truth‑telling and the Truth‑telling apology videos, are available under the ‘Year 9’ accordion on the Humanities and Social Sciences – Teaching page on the Authority website at https://k10outline.scsa.wa.edu.au/home/wa-curriculum/learning-areas/humanities-and-social-sciences/p-10-hass-teaching.
