A group of 17 students from our Senior VCAL class attended a course on effective research skills at the State Library of Victoria on Tuesday 11 June. The students spent the day learning how to navigate the internet to ensure their research is from credible and reliable sources. They were then tasked with researching different topics that took them to various sections within the library.
This is the first year that we have taken part in this program and it proved to be an invaluable exercise for the students. They were able to develop their skills in research and to learn about the resources available to them at the State Library of Victoria. It also helped them meet outcomes for their Skills for Further Study class.
As one of our VCAL students Natalee Marchese (Year 12 Gold) said:“This is awesome. I never even knew this was here and available to us”.
We would like to extend our thanks to the State Library of Victoria and Ms Fitzpatrick for a wonderful day.
