Students in the Middle School have had a busy start to Term 2, with several excursions and opportunities for year 9 and 10 students to participate in.
As part of the Humanities unit, year 9 students visited the Shrine of Remembrance and Eureka Skydeck in week two. Students were taken on a guided tour of the Shrine, where they extended their classroom knowledge of World War 1 and learned about the sacrifices that were made. The day also gave students an understanding of what is expected of them when they attend City Experience in term 3.
All year 9 students have also been attending their one-on-one Morrisby Career Counselling interviews, where they explored the results from their online survey. Students were guided through the results and were provided with the necessary tools required to start thinking about their career pathway.
As part of the Year 10 Geography Environmental Change studies, students visited Torquay where they undertook field work to study the impacts of climate change and coastal management. They utilised skills learned in the classroom to complete the work, including data collection and analysis.
Year 10 History students visited the Melbourne Holocaust Museum to complement their studies of World War 2. They engaged in discussion with a Holocaust survivor and were taken on a tour of the museum to view and engage with artifacts and exhibits.
We hope all of our Middle School students and families have had a safe and warm start to term two and we look forward to the upcoming exam and semester test periods where students can put all of their hard work and effort on show.
