Communities and Belonging Worksheet

Explore how communities help people belong. Read the story, then solve the questions. You can use the story and your own ideas.

A new team in town

When Xavier moved to a town in regional Australia, she was nervous about joining a local junior football team. At her first training session, some players showed her where to put her bag and explained the team’s warm-up. One player invited her to practise passing. The coach made sure everyone had a turn and asked the team to agree on fair rules. Later, the team organised a weekend clean-up at the local oval. Xavier began to feel welcome because people included her, listened to her ideas and worked together.
