Involve me and I will understand

Medieval Day

On Friday 15 November, Year 7 students participated in Medieval Day.  Living History Australia presented a full activity day for our students involving archery, knight battles, Viking games and artefact displays. It was a fun day of bringing history to life!

A few words from the Living History Australia team:

Many people throughout time have said that to understand ourselves we must understand our past. To understand our common humanity we must pinpoint our position on the timeline of human civilisation, we must “use historical knowledge as the compass to position ourselves on the map of human geography” (John Henrik Clarke).

At Living History Australia we aspire to kindle a passion for history and hence a thirst for knowledge in young Australians and encourage children to know their past, to know where they come from and understand the blood, sweat and tears that has gone into creating the world that they live in today.  

“Tell me and I will forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand”
