Year 2 History Excursion | Beenleigh Historical Village & Museum
Year 2 History Excursion | Beenleigh Historical Village & Museum
Today our Year 2 students visited the Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum - specifically The Village.
This excursion was organised to support the learning that has taken place in their Humanities and Social Sciences (HaSS) lessons - where currently they are comparing life in the past to the present. 💡🧐🤔
The students explored the village in small groups and were able to see what life was like in earlier days.
They also watched the following demonstrations:
- A blacksmith at work 🔨
- Old time crosscut pull sawing 🪚
- A printing workshop 📰
- The Loganholme One Teacher School - featuring good manners in days past, and the tools and methods used by one teacher conducting classes across different year levels. 🧑🏫
More information on the Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum can be found on their website HERE.

2023 Junior School Bridge Builders Mediators
2023 Junior School Bridge Builders Mediators
24 of our Year 6 students have been appointed as Bridge Builders Mediators.
This is a part of our Junior School Wellbeing Program and is a valuable resource for our College community.
These students will play an important leadership role in encouraging others to solve problems more positively.
Our Bridge Builders Mediators recently participated in a two-day training session run by Jocelyne Chirnside MEd (Hons), a national Social Emotional Learning consultant from @empowering_life_skills.
The aims of the training were:
- To teach students an awareness of the conflict in their lives and how they respond to it.
- An appreciation of the differences between people.
- To teach students skills such as listening, critical thinking, calming down skills, active listening and problem-solving.
- Provide an empowering process where students learn to assume more responsibility for resolving their problems.
- To support the school in developing a safer and happier environment for all students.
The students will be rostered for one lunchtime a week, where they will work in pairs and roam the Prep - Year 2 playground.
Bridge Builders Mediators are responsible for a process where they guide the disputants to resolve their conflict.
They will listen to both sides and assist our younger students in sorting out their problems and building bridges with others to help them be friends.
