Student Learning

Grade 5/6 Excursion - Deborah Gold Mine

We visited the Central Deborah Goldmine today to support the learning we have been doing in our humanities topic "In search of Resources - The Silk Road" which is all about resources and trade.

The students really enjoyed their time underground.

Grade 4

This week, as part of our Humanities unit, First Nations Peoples and the Establishment of the First British Colony in Australia, the Grade 4 students created ships representing the arrival of the First Fleet in Australia. To accompany their models, students also wrote imaginative journal entries from the perspectives of an Aboriginal person, a convict, and a naval officer.
