Senior Italian Excursion

Students in Year 9 to 12 studying Italian visited the Immigration Museum in Melbourne last Wednesday to learn more about our multicultural community and hear stories of migrants who have made Australia their home.

Despite the drizzly wet weather, students and staff were thrilled to be part of the annual Italian excursion into the city after a two-year hiatus.

Along with the visit to the Immigration Museum, we also visited the Sandridge Bridge. It displays all the countries representing our diverse community and how many migrants have made Australia home.

A highlight of the day was lunch in Lygon Street, where students and staff also enjoyed Italian sweets from Brunettis or a delicious gelati. This was a mandatory part of our Italian adventure.

I thank the students for their enthusiasm and impeccable behaviour and to the teachers who joined us on the day. Until next year, Ciao!
