Year 11 20th Century History – Jewish Holocaust

Museum and Research Centre Excursion

On the 6th of May, the students of Ms Mauger’s 20th Century History class

travelled to the Jewish Holocaust Museum in Elsternwick. We arrived at

the museum at 12:30 and we were welcomed inside but not before

seeing an eternal flame burning just outside the door. We went upstairs

and were greeted and informed of what would be happening. A short film

was put on for us that described what the Holocaust was, when it

happened, why it happened and it taught us a lot of new information

about the persecution of the Jews, the concentration camps and the

effect it had on all those involved, that we never knew about before. Then

we went back downstairs to have a look around the museum with a guide

explaining photos and telling us stories about the Holocaust and the Jews.

We were then allowed to wander around the museum by ourselves to get

a deeper look at all the stories, photos and displays.

Our day excursion ended with a chance to listen to a Jewish Holocaust survivor named Joseph

Spring, he told us his story, discussing his part in the Holocaust and how he survived. It was a very

interesting story, with happy

and sad moments but

overall it was very rewarding

to hear, in person, the story

of a Holocaust survivor, it

gave us a chance to put a

person to all the numbers

associated with the

Holocaust, e.g. 6 million

Jews were killed by the

Nazi’s and their

collaborators.

We all enjoyed the trip and

learnt a lot of new things about the Holocaust and what the Jews endured during World War ll,

giving us a new understanding on the subject.

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability ‘Collection Notice’ All schools in Australia, including Independent and Catholic schools, will participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability this year. The Data Collection is an annual count of the number of students with disability receiving educational adjustments to support their participation in education on the same basis as students without disabil-ity. All education agencies are now required under the Australian Education Regulation 2013 to provide information on a student’s level of education, disability and level of adjustment to the Australian Gov-ernment Department of Education and Training.* Data will continue to be de-identified prior to its transfer to the Australian Government Department of Education and Training. No student’s identity will be provided to the Australian Government Department of Education and Training. The collection of this information from states and territories will inform future policy and program planning in relation to students with disability. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to Joanne Wastle on 97077600 or the Victorian De-partment of Education and Training Data Collection Hotline on (03) 9651 3621. For questions after 7 August 2015, please call the Australian Government Department of Education and Training on 1300 566 046.
