Research Inquiry Updates

The research inquiry developing very nicely in our neighbourhood. Every student has conferenced with teachers on refining and planning of their research story. While some students are still in the process planning, others are well on their way following different research pathways.

The puppies with their dog handlers answer the students' questions.
Ella and Andrea, who have come up with the research story "How puppies become trained as police dogs" organised the dog handlers of the Victorian Police Department to visit our neighbourhood. They brought with them two 13 week old alsatian puppies Hakka and Hamma to answer questions formulated by the students.

The students with Lynn, who was a parent at PHPS during 1980's.
Meanwhile, Tilly, Eliza, Rosie, Mara, Mia and Asha organised an interview with a former parent of Princes Hill Primary School.  She kindly came in to reveal some wonderful and touching stories of the school, including the story behind the plaques on the benches.

There are many stories like these and we are hoping for many more to come as the inquiry progresses.
