The Troubie Theatre for Young People, presented a show about how this remarkable woman achieved power in a masculine society. Students were encouraged to Ask Hatshepsut questions at the end of the presentation and they responded enthusiastically.
Stage 6 History Excursions to Sydney University
Students from Year 11 Ancient History and Year 12 Ancient and Modern History enjoyed valuable learning experiences at the University of Sydney last week.
Year 11 Ancient History students visited the Chau Chak Wing Museum, where they deepened their understanding of archaeology. Highlights included the powerful displays of Ancient Human Remains and the always‑popular hands‑on artefacts room, where students were able to examine objects up close and apply their developing analytical skills.
Meanwhile, Year 12 History students attended the History Teachers’ Association of NSW HSC Study Days on campus. They experienced a taste of university life as they navigated lecture theatres across the grounds and benefited from the insights of HSC markers and experienced subject specialists. The sessions supported their preparation for the upcoming examinations and strengthened their understanding of key syllabus content.
