Original Ideas-see task sheet

Alice and Guidelines were searched- nothing.

MacquarieNet was searched- Go to http://education.qld.gov.au/tal/curriculum_exchange/ Find MacquarieNet and click on EQ schools.  ( T/L has the password) This can also be accessed via the Council Webcat Online References.  There were some AAP Reuters news sites that were OK.

EDNA www.edna.edu.au was searched.  Not very useful.

Council library catalogue online search of main catalogue showed nothing using "children overboard search" and "refugees" produced results that were too broad.

Google-
