Humanities

What a difference it has been with our Year 7, 11 and 12 students returning to school this term!  We have been able to complete a wider range of activities and students have built on what they learned during Remote Learning. 

Highlights have included: 

• Year 7 Geography students were involved in interactive mapping tasks.  These have included exercises where students examined sections of the college grounds using digital platforms and satellite photography.  Classes then moved outside to the actual locations, where further checks and measurements were taken. 
• Many high-quality Year 7 Suburb Design assignments were recently completed, both using online tools and paper. 
• There were also many impressive Year 8 Megacity CATs. 
• Year 9 Sustainable World students have examined how our perceptions of places can be challenged.   
• Year 11 History students have examined documents relating to Apartheid in South Africa.  There have been energised discussions about events and how this period in history compares to the previous topics studied. 

We are also looking forward to running many great activities to run over the coming weeks with our Years 8, 9 and 10 students.
