On Tuesday 16th October 50 Year 7 students, including the ASPIRE class, ventured into the city to visit the Victorian State Library. They got the opportunity to hear about the history of the State Library and all the amazing artefacts that are stored there…not just books! The students then undertook a research program to enhance their research skills; discerning between good quality research and suspect information. They looked at the validity and reliability of internet sources while researching information on important Australian historical figures. These skills are currently being put to the test in Science as the students undertake their own research investigation! A big thank you to Nicola Mackey for coordinating the event!
