Learning Area Update
14 February
Hi everyone and welcome to 2024. It was fantastic to see all those new Year 7 faces on the first day. As well as those new to mainly Year 11 and 12. It is great to see them finishing the secondary schooling in the best school in Ballarat!
2024 sees a number of new staff in the Humanities learning area. A great mixture of graduate and experienced teachers. We have some experienced teachers coming into our VCE classes and lots of enthusiasm for our Year 7 to 10 classes. Jasmine Beaumont, Narelle Dixon, Andrea Hadley, Tegan Heinrich-Morrison, Alan Ng, Jessica Simon, Rachael Thompson. We couldn’t forget Adrain Newman who finally comes into Humanities from Science/Re. Welcome one and all.
In Year 7 our students are introduced to values and the Australian Identity. This fits in beautifully with their camp this week and their introduction to Damascus College. Year 8 are continuing to look at Geography and megacities. The Year 9 students are Investigating the Industrial Revolution of the 17 and 1800’s. They will go to Sovereign Hill to see how the Industrial Revolution impacted the Goldfields in such a short time. The Year 10 students should be finishing their Careers work ready for Work Experience in term 2.
At VCE we offer Legal Studies, Geography, Business Management and History.
Anyway have a great 2024 – remember without Geography you’ll be lost…without History you will have no past…without Business Management you’ll have no money and without Legal Studies you might just have no rights whatsoever. Good luck for 2024 and work smart and hard.
