History Students Meet Author and Holocaust Survivor on Excursion to the City
As part of their study of World War II, Year 10 History students had the privilege of meeting Holocaust survivor Dr Peter Krause at the Queensland Holocaust Museum. Dr Krause has published his family鈥檚 story in his book, Slow Train to Auschwitz. Dr Krause reflected on his early life, sharing how, as a young child, he and his family narrowly escaped the horrors of Auschwitz through extraordinary circumstances and faith.
Students also visited the MacArthur Museum (US General MacArthur鈥檚 office in Brisbane during the war), which has a new display about Australians who were held overseas as prisoners of war (POWs). The students enjoyed exploring the WWII ship, the Diamantina, at the Maritime Museum, on which the Japanese signed the final surrender to end the war in 1945. Mr John Barrie, the great-grandfather of Archie K (Year 9) and Jasmine K (Year 7), was serving aboard the Diamantina and witnessed this historic event. His story was one of many from our community featured in this year鈥檚 Anzac Service.

Geography Students Explore Tourism鈥檚 Impact on the Environment
Year 12 Geography students travelled to Cylinder Beach on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) to investigate how tourism may be transforming the local landscape. Students collected field data on vegetation, trampling, access tracks, the extent of built surfaces and microclimates to map patterns of environmental change. They returned to the island the following week to identify data gaps and strengthen the reliability of their conclusions.
Back on campus, they analysed their findings, transformed data into maps and graphs, and developed management strategies that balance environmental protection with recreational use. It was two rewarding days 鈥� intellectually rigorous, sandy, but thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you to our teachers for organising and supervising this learning adventure.

Year 2 Explores Brisbane鈥檚 Past at City Hall
Our students enjoyed an exciting History excursion to Brisbane City Hall as part of their learning about how life has changed over time. The visit was part of the Brisbane Now and Then program, which helps students compare Brisbane鈥檚 past with the city we know today.
During the workshop session, students examined old photographs of Brisbane and discussed how everyday life has changed over the years. They explored topics such as how people travelled, how children played, and how learning has evolved. One of the highlights was investigating historical objects from the museum鈥檚 collection. Students worked together to guess what each object was, what it was used for in the past, and what modern item we use instead.
After the workshop, students enjoyed a guided tour of City Hall and the Museum of Brisbane. They used a special activity booklet to help them observe and record interesting details as they explored the building and exhibits. The tours encouraged students to think about the differences between Brisbane鈥檚 past and present, bringing their classroom learning to life.
The excursion was a wonderful hands-on learning experience, allowing students to see real historical objects and explore one of Brisbane鈥檚 most iconic buildings. The Year 2 teachers were proud of how curious and engaged the students were throughout the day.
