"Noran Zahrooni had to overcome a lot on his first day of school in 2014. The six-year-old had just come to Australia with his family after fleeing violence in Syria. Seven years earlier they had fled their home country, Iraq, because they belong to a religious minority group, the Mandeans, and had faced persecution."
By clicking the picture of Noran and his family (taken from the SBS website) you will be able to see SBS's story on Noran and read about his first year at school in Australia. This article and video gives a unique insight into the life of a student who has experienced trauma before starting school. I encourage you to read and watch about Noran and his experience, especially if you are teaching refugee students or students who have previously experienced trauma.
