The students were exposed to a variety of presentations, including hearing valuable advice from a 2021 HSC student whose outstanding PIP is now on permanent display in the State Library of NSW.

Following further teacher led presentations that included a plethora of extremely useful PIP research and writing resources, our Year 12 students had a debrief in Hyde Park before making their way to St Mary's Cathedral and the State Library of NSW. Whilst there, the girls analysed how the Society and Culture depth studies and course concepts could be applied to such important historical buildings, both of which simultaneously demonstrate continuity and change within Australian society and culture over time.

The level of application and maturity these students demonstrated on this PIP Day excursion proved they are a credit to the College and to themselves. Furthermore, it is safe to say these young women will continue to grow into socially and culturally literate citizens whose curiosity will see them become lifelong learners.
