Yesterday, we welcomed archivists Sabrina and Eden to our College on behalf of the Sydney Jewish Historical Society. Our Year 10 History students and future Modern History students explored artefacts donated by Australian Jewish families and learned how archives support historians in preserving and understanding the past. Sabrina and Eden also spoke about the importance of preserving history and helped students reflect on the continuing impact of the events they studied in their Holocaust unit. Thank you, Sabrina and Eden, for sharing these stories and insights with our students.

On Tuesday 27th, Students were taken to The Future of Healthcare seminar run by The Careers Department. Students were given information packs and medical forms to fill out while they listened to the experiences of Hamish, their 18 year old patient. Students were also able to hear from a real world practising Psychologist, Doctor, Director of Nursing, and a 2nd year medicine student - learning about what a day looks like and what skills are needed in their fields. Students also were able to ask questions to a panel of members from indeed about the pathways into medicine and ways to get there! What an awesome experience for our students delivered by The Careers Department! If you also want to explore different pathways and career options - all students from year 9-12 have their own login and should take the opportunity to explore for themselves!

Year 6 went to the Australian Electoral Commission today to learn about the federal election process. After a range of interactive learning activities they held a mock election to demonstrate their learning. Students also went to the dinosaur museum in the morning which was interesting as well. They spent the afternoon exploring the Australian War Memorial. In recent years this has been restricted due to renovations but students had an extended period of time learning about key events in Australia’s history. The night time activity was the Australian Institute of Sport and students had a great time exploring the interactive activities after their tour.
