✨ History in the Making at Gibberagong EEC! ✨

What a wonderful day of discovery, learning and adventure! 🌿

Today our students stepped back in time and brought history to life during our History in the Making excursion. From exploring the past to experiencing what life was like in earlier times, students had the opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences, stories and shared moments.

It was fantastic to see so much curiosity, enthusiasm and excitement throughout the day. Days like today remind us that history isn’t just something we read about — it’s something we can experience, question and connect with.

A huge thank you to Prof Grace Karskens and Aboriginal Educator Lea Harlow along with the teachers who brought their students and made today such a memorable experience. 💚
