Humanities

History comes alive at Cranbourne Secondary College

Year 9 Humanities students have been experiencing history first hand this term as part of their studies of World War I. In the classroom they have donned the historian’s white gloves and have examined primary sources from the war including postcards, photographs, badges, magazines and even uniforms. They have also attended an excursion to The Shrine of Remembrance where they were able to see artefacts from the war including trench periscopes and a boat used at the landing of Gallipoli. Students had the opportunity to dress in the uniforms worn by nurses and soldiers and were able to learn why it is still important to commemorate the lives of those were served in the Great War.
