State Library Excursion

During week 4, the Year-34s went to an excursion to the Gusto! exhibition at the State Library. This was part of our research inquiry, allowing students the opportunity to experience museums and exhibitions as a way of exploring the concept of research and research tools.

We were welcomed by the staff of the library and treated to an extensive tour that included the La Trobe Reading Rooms and the Cowen Gallery. We looked at some very old tins of Vegemite and crackers in the Gusto! exhibition, had a go at some games and searched the library catalogues.

 As always, we would not be able to bring these rich experiences without the help of parents and we thanks those who came along to share the experience with us.

 Here are some photos for you to enjoy.
