Thanks to Shane and his WW1 Living History exhibit for giving our Year 9s a fantastic entry event to the experiences of soldiers on the Western Front! The boys thoroughly enjoyed it and were engaged with the hands on aspects! @parramarist
Year 10 Elective History presented a #mocktrial on #NedKelly for their #heroesandvillains project at our Year 7 Open Night last night. Well done on presenting a great trial with some awesome historical evidence!
Students should receive feedback regarding lack of effort or preparation when it's clearly an issue. It helps them make a link to their performance in a way that makes them want to try harder or prepare better in the future. But it should NOT make them embarrassed. #growthmindset
