Year 1 - Exploring the Past Excursion

On Monday, 11th August, the Year 1 students and teachers went on a wonderful excursion to Bundoora Park Farm. 

Students enjoyed learning what it was like in an early 1900 rural school, had fun watching a printing demonstration using an early 20th century printing press, and also journeyed into the wildlife reserve to visit the emus and kangaroos and learn about Aboriginal history and culture. They explored the ‘Stud Groom’s Cottage’ and completed some household chores.

Here are some of the students' highlights of the day!
