Creativity in Social Studies

Mrs L Piebenga —

Our Year 10 students are currently looking at the way people have challenged environments overtime.

As part of our Social Studies programme, we have looked at the ways different groups of people have been both challenged and have challenged environments.  We have investigated the Amazon Basin and it's inhabitants to gain an appreciation of both the resources the rainforest supplies us with and the ways that various groups have sustainably within the environment while other groups have challenged the natural balance of the ecosystem.

We have been impressed with the creativity the students have shown in visually replicating these changing environments.  Well done to all our students who have contributed to this.
