School Certificate 2006 Geography/History Extended Response (1 Viewer)

[daugust1]

Hi

Well i started studying for the school certificate today by doing the past papers and when i came across to check for the answers for the extended response it wasnt there.

Does anyone know where i can find the answers for the extended response for the 2006 History and Geography papers? I remember our teacher showed us a High mark extended response, a average mark extended response and a low marl extended response answer to the 2006 certificate but i cant find it anywhere online


any help, ideas or anything that can be useful please post

Thanks

Those different types of longer-response answers can be found in the Board of Studies SC book that the Board releases each year showing how markers have marked the responses.

Check your library

Theres this question i need help on:

Identify and discuss future challenges for Australia in relation to human rights. In your answer refer to some human rights agreements Australia has entered into and how governments in Australia and other groups respond to these challenges.

I got a 2 out of 15 for this.

Do you have notes on H.R? If so you'd be looking at writing about:

• Small introduction on Australia's past record, and the present. Try not to make this more than a paragraph long because this is not part of the specific question.
• 1951 UN convention on refugees and how Australia signed it but not fully follows it (e.g, mandatory detention for asylum seekers)
• Pacific Solution, problems with it and abuses of human rights relating to it
• How other countries have responded to refugees (e.g Sweden, U.S)
• Responses of groups such as Amnesty international, HREOC (reports)
• If you want to be really specific and differ a bit from the course you'd maybe mention something about David Hicks and new anti-terrorism laws

The above is not exactly clear, but it's an area I need a little work in as well. If you don't have notes on these things then I would suggest you start finding some.

Also remember that higher band answers will have specific facts and information on what you're talking about to separate you from common bull shooters (e.g statistics on the amount of refugees coming to Australia, names of things such as the 1951 UN convention)

 

[Kujah]

Yeah, related to the numerous agreements that Australia has signed, and some of the NGOs within Australia that represent human rights.

wah am i screwed!?!?! i cant remember learning this at all!!! =[

 

[Kujah]

I don't think they'll actually give you a question that speciifcally focuses on human rights. Rather, it could be part of a question that relates to Australia's Regional and/or International Links.

 

[super-shinobi]

oh okay... =/ still a bit worried..

 

[militiaman]

Hmm, well, you never really know. My teacher believes the long answer will be on this...

H.R and Reconciliation is the last thing in the syllabus, so you might not have covered it well in the syllabus. Here's a few things from wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Australia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migratory_history_of_Australia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Australia

Long but you're mostly looking at the past 50 years to the present.

 

[howboutno]

Hey, do Australia's international links include: ANZUS, SEATO, UN & APEC??

 

[Kujah]

Yes. Although SEATO doesn't exist anymore, it is part of Australia's international links in the post-war period.

 

[Dimplez]

whoa wait a sec...is this history or geo? are we talking about human rights & rec (geo) or australia as a global citizen (history)

 

[Kujah]

History.
