Year 12 Modern History ViSN

In Term 1 the Year 12 Modern History ViSN class studying the Russian Revolution built up an international relationship with a high school history class in Russia. In a video conference, students asked each other questions, exchanged perspectives and strengthen their critical thinking and intercultural understanding. A particular note goes to our Year 12  student Shania Cura, who greeted and spoke in Russian to the other students.

As Uruguayan historian Eduardo Galeano stated, “No History is mute. No matter how much they own it, break it and lie about it, human history refuses to shut its mouth. Despite deafness and ignorance, the time that was continues to tick inside the time that is”.

Indeed, our Year 12 History students are making sure their generation will continue to hear that ticking!  Well done Shania!
