📖 Part 1: Understanding Guardianship

WALT: Reflect thoughtfully and write a clear, personal response exploring the meaning of 'guardianship'.

1. Read this exemplar reflection about guardianship:

Being a guardian means more than just protecting something - it means caring deeply about its future. When I think about my little sister, I realise I am her guardian in many ways. I help her when she's scared, teach her new things, and make sure she feels safe. A guardian watches over what they love, like how my grandmother guards our family stories by telling them to us every Sunday. I wonder what it truly means to care for something so precious? Being a guardian requires patience, love, and the courage to stand up for what matters. It's not always easy, but it feels important - like you're part of something bigger than yourself.
