Timeline for the Exhibition
Earlier in the year students explored the transdisciplinary theme,
Where We Are in Place and Time.
An inquiry into orientation in place and time; personal histories; homes and journeys; the discoveries, explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationship between and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations, from local and global perspectives.

The journey begins
Ultimately, this is your child’s project and they will be expected to be responsible for their own learning. Yet, we understand that the Exhibition is a learning process and our students, your children, need and deserve our support and guidance throughout this culminating experience. Together, we will make the journey successfully.
