All aboard!  Whether it be by plane or ship, human migration is an exciting subject matter which the Year 3 and Year 4 boys have been learning all about in their current Unit Of Inquiry.  They have examined some experiences from the very first migrants on the First Fleet to Australia and they have discovered why Australia was chosen, and the reasons why the convicts were sent here.  Over the past two centuries, the impact on Australia has been vast and they have researched some of the differences migrants have made to our country.

We were very fortunate to have five parents come and share their migrant stories with the boys, helping them to understand some of the opportunities, risks and challenges they faced when migrating to Australia and other countries.  A big thank you to Mr Hardwick, Mr Yazdani, Mrs Strawbridge, Mrs Ng and Mr Timpson for coming to share their personal experiences with the boys.
