This term, during our History lessons, Stage 3 have been learning about migration and its impact on the development of Australia as a nation.
As part of our inquiry process, students have been engaged in many learning opportunities that will help them answer our driving question - Who were the people that migrated to Australia and how did they contribute to the development of Australian society?
To help students answer our driving question, students have been learning about push and pull factors that contribute to a person’s decision to migrate. We also looked at the Australian government’s migration policies and how this contributed to changes in the Australian population.
As a culmination to our History unit, students have been busy exploring the individual narrative of a migrant or a refugee. Through interviews and research, students have gathered information about their chosen individual and will present their person’s migration story in class next week!

A HUGE shout out to this amazing little gymnast. In August she had the opportunity to both train and compete at the Waverley Gymnastics Centre in Melbourne. She was lucky enough to meet Australian gymnast Emily Whitehead and then compete. This super star placed 1st on vault, 1st on beam and 2nd on floor resulting in her finishing 1st overall individually and 1st overall as part of her team!!! Well done you should be so proud of yourself and the work you did to achieve these fantastic results!!! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
