Mr Mills’ Year 11 Modern History class has been learning about the Boxer Rebellion, a movement led by a secret society in China that sought to expel foreigners and believed they had magical immunity to bullets!
As part of their studies, students prepared for and participated in a simulation activity where they represented various countries—including Britain, France, Germany, the US, and Japan—and debated whether to intervene militarily in China to suppress the rebellion.
Students did excellent work in examining primary sources to construct their arguments and presented their cases persuasively, using historical detail. It has been wonderful to see the class engage so enthusiastically in understanding the past.
