State Library of Victoria Excursion

On Thursday, 21 March,  the Year 12 Literature class took part in a VCE Study Skills session at the State Library of Victoria. This included a tour of the library and many of the library’s art pieces and artefacts.

Excellent advice on how to use databases and find reputable web sources was offered, and we enjoyed the tour with Josh E, who on a later social media stalk search we found out was a comedian. He wasn’t that funny during the tour though. That was a bit disappointing. But the building, the reading room, the incredible artwork and the trip to Wonderbao afterwards, was wonderful.

Thank you to Miss Skennar for organising the event!

Year 12 Literature Class

AAMI Park

On Wednesday the 27th of March, we had the opportunity to go to AAMI park to meet a few Indigenous Melbourne Demon and Melbourne Storm players and a world champion Indigenous Jiu-Jitsu artist to talk about leadership, the Indigenous culture, challenges they faced to get where they are today and what it means to be an Indigenous leader. It was a great chance to meet other students from other schools who are Indigenous and to learn more about the culture if you don’t have Indigenous heritage. It was an honour to meet Neville Jetta, Jeff Garlett and Toby Bedford of the Melbourne Demons Football Club, Josh Addo-Carr of the Melbourne Storm Football Club, and Shantelle Thompson, a world champion Jiu Jitsu artist. We were also fortunate enough to meet Cameron Smith during a tour of AAMI park and come back to a provided lunch. It was a great opportunity that we are very thankful for and would gladly do it again.
