HSIE Classroom Highlights:   

Year 7 History - Students recently submitted their first assessment task for History in Week 4. Students created an artefact replica understanding the value of sources in this term’s Mediterranean World unit. We received an abundance of creative artefacts displaying our students understanding of Ancient Egyptian and Roman civilizations.  

Year 8 History - Ms Hay’s 8G students have been studying Ancient Aztec culture and were treated to a traditional food tasting lesson. Students loved the corn chips but weren’t so fond of chilli hot chocolate. Additionally, students will be enjoying some friendly competition participating a traditional Aztec ball game, ‘Ollamaliztli’.  

Year 10 Psychology Elective - Students in Year 10 Psychology have been studying the role of forensic psychology in criminal cases and have been investigating factors of criminality. Students have enjoyed using clues and statistical data to understand how biological, social, environmental, and psychological factors influence criminality.
