1 | State Library of New South Wales: NSW Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum – History (Trophies)

Stage 2 (Year 3) Community and remembrance

Students learn about identity and diversity in both a local and broader context. Moving from the heritage of their local area,

students explore the historical features and diversity of their community. They examine local, state and national symbols and

emblems of significance, and celebrations and commemorations, both locally and in other places around the world.

Topic: Trophies

Key inquiry question: How and why do people choose to remember significant events of the past?

Content

Days and weeks celebrated or commemorated in Australia (including Australia Day, ANZAC Day, Harmony Week, National

Reconciliation Week, NAIDOC Week, National Sorry Day) and the importance of symbols and emblems. (ACHHK063)

Student learning activity

Students use photos to ask historical questions about the past.

The activities introduce students to photos as historical records of people, places and events in the past.

Students examine photos from the State Library of NSW to find out about how trophies are used to commemorate significant

events and achievements in Australian society.

The learning activity is designed to help students understand the continuity of traditions in Australian culture for awarding

trophies and medals for achievement.

Activity 1: What did they win?

People usually have a photo taken when they win a trophy or award.

Sometimes the trophy itself will tell you what sort of competition it was.


Sometimes it has a statue or symbol on it that shows the event or competition.

The person’s name is also written on it.

But sometimes you only have the photo and not the trophy.

In that case it is a bit more difficult to work out what kind of event it was.

Look carefully at the photos of people and their trophies.

Find clues in the photo that tell us what type of competition the person/team has won.

Ask students to:

1. Examine the photos of trophies and medals and people with their trophy or medal.

2. Think about reasons why people are awarded trophies today. What are the similarities? What are the differences?

Students’ interpretations may differ. The learning activity helps them understand that different people can have different

interpretations of the same primary source.


Picture Analysis:

For each of these images of people who won a trophy, answer these questions:

What did they do to win?

What did they win?

How do you know?

Look for clues in the photos.
