HUMANITIES

Humanities students have built on the knowledge and understanding they gained earlier this term, with many classes progressing on to more in-depth assignments in March. 
Our highlights have included: 

• • • Year 7 Geography students completed assignments based on their photos and observations taken from around the College grounds. 
    • Year 7 Geography classes also identified natural and cultural features of the stunning landscape of Hawaii.  It made for some great displays on the whiteboard tables in the Discovery Centre. 
    • Year 11 Accounting students created their own cupcake recipes as part of their work on pricing.  Once made, the cupcakes were given prices with accounting strategies in mind. 
    • Year 11 History students earlier in the year had studied hyperinflation (1921 – 1923) in Weimar Germany.  Then, following a generous donation to the college, the class was able to inspect actual banknotes from the time – when the price of bread rose from 250 marks to 201,000,000,000 marks in less than a year. 
    • Year 11 Legal Studies completed a “baseball” activity on criminal law. 
    • The Year 12 Accounting class learned about the use of ledgers with a “Who Am I?” quiz.
    • Year 12 Legal students revised their work with a competitive flip card relay.  So much fun and everyone remembered so much more info!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

There have also been many important assessments, CATs and SACs underway in recent weeks.  Humanities students can be very proud of what they’ve created over the last month.  We look forward to updating our displays of student work in our E-block rooms.
