Year 8 students undertook real world learning to investigate water as a resource in Sydney. Students travelled to The Rocks to engage in geographical fieldwork and gather primary research on the topic \u2018Water in the World\u2019. Students were asked to investigate the nature of water scarcity, the need for sustainable water management and discover the value of water and the perceptions that different groups in society have about water. A huge thank you to all the Geography teachers who supervised this fieldwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Reflections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visiting The Rocks was an incredible experience. We were given an amazing opportunity to learn about the history of water use in Sydney. We were able to see the original water supply and understand the history behind it, which was an eye-opening experience. We learnt many things about colonisation, the tank stream, the struggle with water scarcity and much more. It was a great educational excursion, as it allowed us to partake in activities, whilst learning.<\/em>

I enjoyed the fieldwork in The Rocks. It was fascinating to learn about Sydney’s water history and to see in person the places where civilization began all those years ago. This excursion was truly an exhilarating experience, and I hope everyone has the opportunity to participate in it.<\/em>

Our Geography fieldwork excursion was a truly memorable experience, which deepened my understanding of the history of Sydney’s water. It made me appreciate the richness of Sydney’s history, from the Tank Stream to today. It was a great way to explore the way that water shapes our lives.<\/em>
