WONTHAGGI HISTORICAL INVESTIGATION EXCURSION
Today Like Minds students completed a History unit exploring local history and industry, with a particular focus on the development of the Wonthaggi township and its important connection to the coal mining industry. Through their studies, students investigated how the discovery of natural resources and the growth of industry influenced the development of communities, employment opportunities and the everyday lives of local people.
The excursion provided a valuable opportunity to extend their classroom learning by exploring Wonthaggi's rich mining history and gaining a deeper understanding of the region's industrial heritage. Students were able to bring their learning to life, making connections between the past and present while discovering how the booming coal mining industry helped shape the township and the wider local community.
