Have you any questions?
We want the G10 Humanities Club to be an exciting part of school life—good company, exciting discussions, debates and making links with social scientists worldwide.
The club runs on Wednesdays between 3:15 and 4:00 pm. Regular weekly meetings will focus on ONE significant project per semester. Semester 1 is the ANZAC DAY SCHOOLS’ AWARD, a national Humanities competition. The meetings plan events around the school, in the local community and online international interviews.
The Anzac Day Schools’ Award project is very dynamic. It’s about making the ANZAC DAY an essential date in the school calendar. To do this, the G10 members get to do three tasks:
- Find new ways of telling the story of Gallipoli. For example, tell stories of how Australian soldiers fought alongside New Zealanders (Pakeha and Maori) and Indian soldiers.
- Interview local veterans to raise awareness of the importance of their service to our Australian way of life. In turn, G10 members will interview State-based, national and international historians who collect and archive the stories of veterans.
- Create classroom commemoration services leading up to the Anzac Day holiday. These will run in Year 7 – 12 Humanities classes in Week 1 of Term 2.
