Year 11 Ancient History Excursion to the Chau Chak Wing Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the 28th of May, Year 11 Ancient History students visited the Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney for a hands-on and immersive learning experience. Guided by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic museum guide, students were led through the museum\u2019s different exhibitions, engaging in thoughtful discussions and Q&A sessions. As they explored the exhibits, students reflected on the important role curators play in shaping how history is presented, and how these curatorial choices influence our understanding of the ancient world.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the day was the opportunity for students to handle genuine ancient artefacts. Each student closely examined a selected item, drew a detailed sketch, and used their historical knowledge to deduce the artefact\u2019s origin and use. After this enriching activity, students enjoyed some free time to further explore the museum\u2019s diverse collections at their own pace. The day concluded with a relaxing lunch under the sun in the beautiful grounds of Sydney University before the group returned to school. The students had a wonderful time and thoroughly benefitted from this hands-on learning experience.<\/p>\n
