STUDENT  LEARNING

Year 5 & 6 in Term 3

Throughout this term, students have been immersed in Australian History throughout our Integrated Studies, Reading and Writing learning areas. Students have researched in detail significant historical events that have occurred and shaped Australia to be what it is today. We went on an excursion to the Eureka Centre and learnt about the Eureka Stockade, the Eureka flag, the timeline of when people were allowed to vote and we found out information about the key people involved in the rebellion.
