Civics and Legal Excursion - Year 9
On Thursday 4 November Miss Moss and Miss McQueen took their Year 9 Civics and Legal classes to Brisbane to visit the QLD Police Museum and Boggo Road Gaol. At the museum students were able to solve real cases using clues, ride a police motorbike and learn about the history of the QLD Police. At Boggo Road Gaol students were given a tour around the gaol, spent some time in the cells and learnt about some infamous inmates and well-known prison escapees. Some students were shocked about the primitive conditions the inmates lived in just 30 years ago! The students were lucky to be the only tour group so had the opportunity to explore all the remaining cell blocks. We also had lunch in the park situated on the old gaol grounds. It was a great day and we hope to make it a yearly event. This excursion links with the current unit students are learning about, “Criminal Law”.
