Year 9 History Excursion 

On Monday 2^nd December, Mrs Pudney’s Year 9 History class and Mrs Langdon were warmly greeted by Mrs Norma Schopp and Mrs Di Taylor at the Balaklava Museum to learn about local men and women who served in World War One. Students searched through the folders and selected a name from the service roll. This assessment will see students research enlistment forms, discover the journey of their chosen person and learn more about WW1.

Year 8 History

Mrs Niblett's Year 8 History class are currently studying Shogunate Japan. Today they had the opportunity to make Sushi. Thanks to Miss Mayer, Miss Kitchen, Steph and Alin for their help in the kitchen. Did you know originally Sushi wasn't eaten with the rice? The rice was used to preserve fish. However, the Japanese changed and developed it over the years to what it is today.

Burra History Excursion

In Week 4, 9PG1 and 9PG2 students attended an excursion to Burra to complement their learning in History of the Modern World from 1750-1918. Students were taken on a guided tour back to the day when Burra was the second most populated city in South Australia. Students learnt how people immigrated to an unknown country with very limited information and the living and working conditions which greeted them on arrival. Visiting the Burra Mine Site, Unicorn Brewery, Miner’s Dug Outs and the Redruth Gaol helped students consolidate their learning of early European settlement in South Australia.  Thank you to Mrs Niblett, Mr Parsons and Mrs Pudney for organising the excursion.
