Year 11 EES Excursion \u2013 Australian Museum<\/p>\n
On Wednesday 1 April (Week 10, Term 1), Year 11 Earth and Environmental Science students attended an excursion to the Australian Museum to support their study of Earth\u2019s Resources.<\/p>\n
Students participated in a two-hour workshop led by a museum educator, working within the Burra learning space and Minerals Gallery. The program provided valuable hands-on experiences, including identifying and classifying rock and mineral samples, investigating First Nations Peoples\u2019 use of geological resources, and analysing the significance of renewable and non-renewable resources.<\/p>\n
The Minerals Gallery was a highlight of the day, with students demonstrating high levels of engagement as they explored the extensive collection and applied their classroom knowledge to real-world specimens. The activities supported key syllabus outcomes, particularly in collecting and analysing data, and deepening understanding of Earth\u2019s interconnected systems.<\/p>\n
I commend the students for representing themselves and the school so positively throughout the excursion. I think them for a positive and memorable day.<\/p>\n
Year 10 students with an interest in Earth systems, resources, and fieldwork are strongly encouraged to consider Earth and Environmental Science as a subject choice in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
