Hello Term 3!
Term 3 is a massive term for Year 12 students and their teachers with the Trial HSC beginning in Week 5. Year 12 classrooms are abuzz as we work to complete the final module and prepare for Papers 1 and 2. Now more than ever, maximising class time and adhering to study timetables is vital.
Sydney Jewish Museum Excursion
Last term Miss Johnson accompanied an enthusiastic group of students to the Sydney Jewish Museum to supplement their learning about the Jewish experience in their novel studies. The museum is an amazing space full of historical exhibits, multimedia displays and interactive exhibits. The visit finished with a poignant talk given by a Holocaust survivor about their experience in World War 2.
