History Students Meet Brett Hunt
On Friday 15 June, Year 10 History students and Year 9 Elective History students were lucky to meet Brett Hunt (the son of Frankie in the Redgum song: 'I was only 19') to learn, be entertained and be moved by his personal story relating to family and the experiences of Australian soldiers in the Vietnam War.

Year 10 student Imogen M said:
'I really enjoyed today's performance and found it very engaging, being a personal story. I liked how he balanced the light-hearted moments with those of a more serious matter, and thought he conveyed his story really creatively. I found that there were many links that could be made between Mr Hunt's performance and what we have learnt in class, both in mandatory and elective history classes. Overall, a very valuable experience to be a part of!'
