Hawthorn-Melbourne

Despite the cold and rainy weather, our students had a fantastic day exploring Sovereign Hill! 🌦️✨

Stepping back in time, they discovered what life was like during Victoria’s famous gold rush era, learned about the history of one of Australia’s most iconic towns, and experienced hands-on activities that brought the past to life.

From wandering through historic streets to learning fascinating stories about early settlers and gold miners, it was a day filled with fun, adventure, and valuable learning. A little rain certainly didn't stop us from making great memories! 🏛️⛏️🌟

Our students recently participated in a meaningful First Nations Art Workshop, where they learned about the rich histories, cultures, and traditions of Australia’s First Nations communities through art and storytelling. It was a valuable opportunity to deepen their understanding of culture, connection to Country, and the importance of preserving and celebrating Australia’s oldest continuing cultures. 🖤💛❤️
