Medieval Sydney

Enrichment History Day

On a sunny Thursday, 5 April,  50 Year 7 students accompanied by Mrs Haskett and Ms Golijan headed by bus on an adventure of historical learning to Sydney University. After travelling over the Harbour Bridge we reached our destination and the students were not sure if they were at Hogwarts or Sydney University.

Professor Michael McDonnell and Bridget Neave organised a day of immersion in History whilst demonstrating the benefits of studying at university to our students. Students engaged in a treasure hunt around the quad, learnt about Medieval Aboriginal Sydney, had a tour led by famous Nicholson Museum curator, Craig Baker and were enthralled by a medieval fight  held by the Society for Creative Anachronism. A fantastic day was had by all.
