CLASS SPOTLIGHT – 9.3 HISTORY WITH MR QUINN
This week, I have been walking around our classrooms and seeing what wonderful lessons our students are part of. This sparked an idea – each fortnight, I will showcase the great things our staff are doing in class.

The students in this class have been exploring the development of the Modern World, with a focus on the impact of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and Australia. They have been particularly engaged in studying slavery, demonstrating strong interest in the sources, active participation in discussions, and impressive depth in their writing. 

Keep an eye out on our social for class spotlight photos coming soon!
