All Year 9 students study WW1 in Humanities in Term 4. This guided tour of the Shrine of Remembrance is a fantastic way to explore one of Melbourne’s most iconic places and reflect on the impacts of war. Students will learn about wartime history, hear about war experiences from a diverse range of people from all walks of life, and experience the living importance of remembrance in Australian communities. This session takes about 1 hour. The Intersection City Walk is an opportunity for all Year 9s to experience our College value of ‘COMPASSION’ in real life. Our students will walk the streets of Melbourne’s CBD with a guide from the not-for-profit to see a different angle of life. Students are encouraged to challenge their own assumptions and recognise the danger of single stories. Through interactive storytelling, students realise the strength of diversity in building a healthy city/society. This session takes about 90 minutes. Students will have opportunities for food and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Students will meet Heathmont College staff at Heathmont Train Station at 8:30am to catch the 8:51am train to Flinders Street Station. Students be dismissed from Ringwood Train Station at 3pm.
