This sounds like a positive change, definitely a much better grounding in Australian history than I received at that age. It is pretty wild that you can live in a colonial country without ever being taught what colonisation means for indigenous peoples but that is the world we've been living in until recently.

I find it odd too, i went to a shit hole of a school in a smaller town and this stuff was all just part of the curriculum. Including all the bad things that happened to the indiginious people. So it feeld weird its called out now.

Im pretty sure watching rabbit proof fence is like a mandatory movie at some point too https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0252444/
