Rocks Walking Tour Excursion

On Monday 6th June, all Stage 2 students attended the Rocks Walking Tour excursion, to complement their current History unit 'First Contacts'. Students were guided around the landscape of Sydney’s oldest neighbourhood, The Rocks.

They learnt about first contact between the Eora and British people, the Aboriginal way of life before and after colonisation, significant people and events that fashioned the British penal colony and explored relevant sites in the development of Sydney. Students had the opportunity to dress up as the governor or soldiers, convicts or free and given the real identity of a significant person. It was a fantastic day, despite a few bonnets blowing off in the wind!
