HASS Excursion

Geography field trip

WHAT do you get when you put 108 Year 10 students at Elizabeth Quay? An awesome learning experience! 

Due to concerning weather, our Year 10s travelled together on Tuesday, 17 May and Thursday, 19 May to complete their wellbeing geography fieldwork assessment. 

At Elizabeth Quay, students met Wadjuk man Justin Martin, owner and operator of Djurandi Dreaming, who discussed the challenges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have had with achieving wellbeing, first contact with the Europeans and how important connection with country is to wellbeing. From there students visited the Ngalang Koort Boodja Wirn exhibit at the WA Museum Boola Bardi, where they explored the positive and negative sides of colonisation. 

After lunch, students conduct a field transect of change from Wellington Square to Claisebrook and are amazed at the change that occurs in this area of East Perth, influencing both positive and negative well-being. Thank you to the Humanities and Social Sciences team for assisting with the delivery of the fieldwork
