The Year 7s have recently completed their semester long Electrolife unit. Over the past few weeks, they have been preparing magazines for their electorate to showcase what they have learnt about it over the semester. To help them with their research, some students contacted the member of parliament for their electorate. Below is a summary from some students who wrote about their experience with this task.
This semester in Humanities we have learnt about liveability factors in electorates in Australia. Across the year level everyone has been assigned an Australian federal electorate. We were given Durack in WA. For a more personal and detailed approach, we directly contacted Melissa Price, the MP for Durack. For our Assessment for this term, we are making a magazine for our electorate with a BOLTSS map, information on Melissa, the environment in Durack, the community and liveability factors. Melissa’s response helped us with our assignment as her email included valuable information to help us with our queries on some of the top civil issues in Durack, such as housing affordability and homelessness and her future plans for Durack. This assessment has given us great freedom, and we have all sincerely enjoyed it.
