Inquiry

6D have been investigating the Inquiry question, ‘How does where I live impact me?’. They have been exploring factors that influence liveability in different areas across Victoria, Australia and the world. Students have also begun analysing the importance of community in rural parts of Victoria. With this in mind, they will formulate a plan to make a change that will leave a lasting, positive impact on their school community.

Below are some highlights of their research and findings so far:

“Where I live impacts me because I have to adapt based on the cultures in that area.” – Daniel H

"I live in Australia, and I am Fijian-Indian, so I have learnt to respect other cultures such as Indigenous Australians.” – Antariksh

“You can be impacted by your surroundings and the people around you.” – Anishka

“Where you live can have an impact on your education, but there will always be ways to learn, even if you live far away.” – Sahiba

“We are very privileged to live in Glen Waverly with good healthcare and being in a safe place.” - Mai

“Lots of different areas around Australia have different healthcare options, and some may even be better than Melbourne.” - Antonia

“My biggest takeaway from the Inquiry question is how natural disasters impact Shepparton and other rural and regional areas around us.”- Julie
