The Humanities Faculty continues to bring learning beyond the classroom through engaging, place-based experiences that challenge and inspire our students.

Our Year 11 Modern History students visited the Holocaust Museum, where hearing from a Holocaust survivor provided a powerful and personal insight into the dangers of antisemitism, alongside inspiring stories of resilience and survival.

Our Year 12 Business Management students also connected theory to practice during their visit to the Yakult factory, where they examined operations management in a real-world setting. Seeing production processes, quality control, and efficiency strategies in action helped bring key concepts to life and deepened their understanding of how successful businesses operate.

In Year 9 Geography, students explored sustainability through a Fast Fashion incursion, transforming second-hand clothing into creative new pieces using sewing machines and teamwork. The experience culminated in an energetic fashion show, highlighting both innovation and environmental awareness.

Students also stepped beyond the classroom and into the heart of Australia’s democracy. Year 9 Future Entrepreneurs and Citizens students explored Parliament House, while Year 11 Legal Studies students visited both Parliament House and the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, experiencing the law in action. From tracing how laws are debated and passed, to observing the workings of the justice system firsthand, these excursions gave students a deeper, more tangible understanding of how our society is governed—and their place within it.

These place-based learning opportunities help our students become thoughtful, informed, and engaged citizens, connecting classroom learning with the wider world.
