We would like to congratulate all G32 students for delivering an outstanding Presentation of Learning, which marked the culmination of a full term’s work across the Humanities and Arts subjects.
Our Learning Expedition, “Do Your Bit,” explored the guiding question: “Why should we honour ALL those who sacrificed during WW1?” Throughout the term, students demonstrated commitment, curiosity and thoughtful reflection as they engaged with this important theme. Their presentations clearly showcased the depth of learning that has taken place and the care taken in preparing to share their work with others.
We are extremely proud of the work of both our staff and students in ensuring that our study of history reflects our curriculum focus of cultivating diversity and belonging. By exploring the experiences of individuals and groups whose voices have often been overlooked, our students have helped to ensure that the story of the First World War is told in a fuller and more inclusive way.
Educationalist, friend and advocate of XP, Ron Berger, highlights the importance of students sharing their learning with others, noting that “when students present their work to an authentic audience, the work matters more and the learning goes deeper.” Opportunities such as our Presentation of Learning help students to strengthen their understanding while also developing confidence and pride in their work.
We would also like to thank all the families who joined the live stream of the presentation. Your support means a great deal to our students, who are always excited to share their learning. As a school, we truly value the partnership with our families in helping students recognise the purpose and value of their work.

We hope the presentation provided new insights into World War One and highlighted stories that may not always appear in traditional history accounts.
