Colleen Elkins – Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator – K-6

Last week, our Year 4 and 5 students were lucky enough to be addressed by a PhD student, Kristina Ulm, from UNSW, who is specialising in Urban Agriculture and the Effect of Human Activity on the Environment. The focus also included Sustainability and Food.

Our students have been studying this broad topic through different lenses, in their Geography this term and it was wonderful to get an expert in the area to share her knowledge of and passion for this subject.

The students had endless questions for Kristina, showing their involvement in the talk and the interest that was sparked for them on the topic. Many students returned to class with questions to record and look into on an ongoing basis.

We are most grateful to experts who come into our School and give so generously of their time to share real world experiences with our students, and we thank Kristina for her time.
