Professional Learning: The Pinjarra Massacre: Truth-telling. Exploring the teaching and learning exemplars
The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) will deliver professional learning workshops to support teachers to use the Year 5 and 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'. This significant Western Australian history resource has been developed to support implementation of the mandated Year 5 History curriculum content. The professional learning will focus on teaching this period in Western Australian history, including colonisation and the 1834 Pinjarra Massacre, with an emphasis on historical accuracy, cultural respect and trauma-informed practice.
Teachers will explore resources that integrate cultural knowledge, primary sources and trauma-informed approaches to support confident, respectful and meaningful classroom learning.
