Year 9 Humanities Excursion

Parliament of Victoria and Shrine of Remembrance

 

As part of our studies in Civics and Citizenship and Australian History, students visited the Parliament of Victoria and the Shrine of Remembrance. 

 

At Parliament, students visited both the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council chambers to  learn about how laws are made, the roles of Members of Parliament, and the importance of democratic participation. At the Shrine, students were able to explore Australia’s wartime history and reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have served in the armed forces.

 

The Melbourne excursion offered students a valuable opportunity to connect our classroom learning with real-world experiences in government, democracy, and war time remembrance.
