Over the last month our Year 8 Altior students have taken part in some fun activities and excursions as part of their Humanities program. A couple of the students involved in these activities have recounted their experiences.

Year 8 Altior Monopoly Dreams Excursion

On 18 March, the Year 8 Altior Humanities class had the exciting opportunity to attend and participate in the Monopoly Dreams experience. It was a fantastic chance for students to explore the world of Monopoly in a new and interactive way.

The experience featured a variety of fun activities, not only for the students but also for the teachers. These activities included a 4D movie, a selection of carnival games, and even a laser maze, all of which added to the excitement of the excursion.

The excursion focused on the economic side of the Monopoly game, as well as how economics influence both the game and the store itself. A huge thank you goes to Mr. Simpson, Mr. Rowland, Ms. Mihocic and all the staff and teachers who helped make this enjoyable and educational experience possible.

On Tuesday 18 March, the Year 8 Altior Humanities students attended an evening where we showcased our business concepts in the Rivergum Theatre.

  • 1st Place: Nathan Dang L14 and Kavindu De Alwis T11 – PocketShield
  • 2nd Place: Christian Nikolovski B15 and Thomas Price T18 – Charter Tracker
  • 3rd Place: Orlando Rizzi L16 and Preston Shingange T14 – P & O Window Cleaning

As a representative of the Year 8 Altior Humanities students, I would like to thank our teacher, Mr Matt Simpson, as well as the parents, guardians and all the additional staff who attended the event; Mr Aiello, Ms. Mihocic, Ms. Bonvicino, Ms. Thompson, and Mr Astbury. Amazing work by all the students!
