HSIE HIGHLIGHTS HSIE KLA AMANDA COOKE

Thank you to our amazing HSIE staff who have worked tirelessly to deliver a high quality and engaging education to all of our students in 2024 - Mr Bigwood, Ms Cass, Ms Jasprizza, Mr McAllister, Mr Miller, Mr Quinn and Mr Watson. A warm welcome and congratulations to Mr Watson on his permanent appointment to Hennessy, we look forward to continuing to work with you in the HSIE faculty. 2024 saw the HSIE Department's incorporation of the College’s Classroom Mastery initiatives. These initiatives create productive, safe, and calm learning environments, making lessons more engaging, which in turn, enhances student learning. Students are able to take part in hands-on activities designed to spark their interest, increase their learning and foster a love of HSIE. CLASSROOM MASTERY

VIRTUAL LECTURES Business Studies and Ancient History students have had some fantastic opportunities to learn from experts in their fields this year. David Broadbridge, author of the Qantas Case Study, joined the Business Studies classes via Zoom, offering valuable strategies and insights aimed at boosting HSC results. Year 12 Ancient History students were privileged to meet Dr Estelle Lazer, a world renowned archaeologist who specialises in human remains from Pompeii and Herculaneum. Dr Lazer shared her extensive knowledge on the ethical considerations surrounding human remains, the impact of new technologies in archaeology, and the ongoing challenges of conservation and site management.
