Year 7 SEAL 'Classroom connection'

Over the past few months the Year 7 SEAL class has been involved in a program called the 'Classroom connection'. Established by the ABC program 'Behind the News', classes were matched with schools from contrasting areas to share experiences of school and social life. We were fortunate to be introduced to the Year 7/ 8 class at Birchip P-12 College and their teacher Lyndall Jenkin. Students created a 'mirror story board' about their day's activities to show differences and similarities between city and country students. The classes also conducted surveys of each other as part of sharing information about the different geographies of their local areas. The program was a great learning experience for the Year 7 SEAL students and we hope to carry it over into next year.
