The classroom lessons work entirely with invented people and places. A teacher may offer these options through the school's approved private communication route after checking whether asking is appropriate. Do not auto-send a message, require a family photo, collect an address, ask for a birthplace in front of peers, or describe one family pattern as typical. A learner whose family does not participate uses the same fictional cards and is not penalised; personal-content evidence remains not observed.
| Option | Invitation the school may adapt | What the teacher may record |
|---|---|---|
| Child-led role words | “If you would like, tell me privately about one person important in your family or care network and how you describe the connection. You can pass.” | Only what the child chose to say, with permission and school privacy controls. No inferred legal/cultural relationship. |
| Carer-supported broad place | “If your family wants to, you can share a broad place linked to a person and whether it is where they were born or grew up. You can leave either part blank.” | Source attribution and exact consented broad wording; never force a precise town, address, migration reason or official record. |
| Story without names | “You could tell a short story about a person helping in a place, using roles rather than names.” | Inquiry/narrative skill only unless the story genuinely and voluntarily addresses an own-family descriptor. |
| Pass or fictional route | “You can choose the invented Paper Harbor source instead.” | Normal participation in S01–S05 practice. K01 personal evidence remains open; passing is not a misconception. |
When a child volunteers sensitive or concerning information, follow current school safeguarding and record-handling procedures; do not turn the HASS activity into a public investigation. If a family wants a home-language response, a competent locally approved interpreter/translation process is needed before the teacher claims accuracy. No translation or First Nations language text is supplied here.
