On
Thursday, 22 June, Year 9 students participated in an excursion to Fremantle
and Perth City. Students had an early start making their way into Perth City to
begin their day and gain some insight and practice into the procedures for the
upcoming LIFE Week during which most of the year group will spend the week in
Perth City.
Students
and staff took the train to Fremantle where they made a brief visit to the
Welcome Walls at the Fremantle Maritime Museum before walking across to the
Fremantle Prison where students participated in a Convict Tour and collected
evidence to investigate the question: What were the experiences of convicts in
the Fremantle Prison?
After
visiting Fremantle Prison, students had lunch at St John’s Square in Fremantle
before taking the train to St Mary’s Cathedral to tour the Catholic Cathedral
of Perth and gain some insights into how their own Catholic community at Holy
Cross College is connected to the history of the Cathedral.
The day
provided students with some rich knowledge they can apply both in their study
of the Industrial Revolution in History as well as their city project in Big
Ideas next term.
