Insights from Year 9 … the year of 2020….

Year 9 insights from 2020

We learn, not from experience, we learn from our reflections on that experience. I was privileged to read the incredible insights of Year 9 (Mr Barry’s International Studies Class) on their blogs that were both personal and critical reflections of this incredibly historic year. Each student was required to reflect and record through images and words their view of the world. 

Year 9 students

These personal reflections were recreated into an online journal/blog, which also contained deep investigations on the state of the world, such themes resonated through the works, as having a huge influence. Things such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the ongoing lockdowns in Melbourne, the border closures, the Anti- Masks Riots, the isolation, Mental Health and what online learning has brought to the classroom. All the students are to be congratulated on the perceptive and knowingness enlivened in each online journal. In particular the wisdom that they each have drawn from experiencing the last 12 months.

Super well done
