MY LEARNING

My learning is different than the students in 1913 because

we use laptops and phones to found out things. We work

with 3 other classes in integrated studies, we often work in

groups and we sometimes work with the older year levels. I

have a lot of contact with the teachers via their email and

on edmodo, this means that I can tell them about my

homework and ask questions that I may have.

WHAT SUBJECTS ARE STILL THE SAME NOW AND THEN

The subjects that are still the same are English,

Maths, woodwork, science, sport, history and art.

WHAT THINGS HAVE CHANGES OVER THE 100 YEARS

The things that have changed over the years at Eltham High

School is the uniform because we have no uniform except for

sports uniform, the subjects such as metal work, drama, music,

integrated studies, PE, language and 3D art. We have extra

activities like the volleyball program, the volleyball completion,

the debate team, the drama club, the swimming club, the music

program, choir and camps. For sports we have interschool sports

were you compete against other schools, there is swimming

carnivals, athletics carnivals and cross country.

WHY THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES IN EDUCATION

Education has changed because there has been lots

of technology invented. More people attend school

because it is now compulsory, however in 1913 only

the wealthy people had the money to go to school.

The subjects have changed and now include those

that teach about life skills. Over the years the

teachers have learnt many varied teaching styles

from sitting in rows looking at the teacher to sitting

in groups talking to each other.

WHY EDUCATION IS NOT THE SAME EVERYWHERE IN THE

WORLD

Education is not the same everywhere in the world

because it depends if your country is poor or which state you

live such as some parts of Africa, Asia and Papua Guinea are

too poor to afford even a school or teacher let alone any

books. Also schooling can be different due to the different

beliefs, cultures and religions in the world such as in some

Muslim countries they don’t allow women to be educated

after a certain age.

MY GOALS

My goals for high school are to get really good test

results, get into the volleyball/program, to learn

some French words and count to 10 for the first

term, make new friends, get to division in swimming,

do my personal best in everything, be on time for

class , to get to district or division for athletics, to be

able to write a 1000 word essay by the end of the

year and finish off all the homework before the due

date.
