What Makes Us Special?

In Term 2, we are continuing to delve deeper into our Inquiry into the nature of the self where we hope to gain an awareness of our own characteristics, abilities and interests.

Who are we? What makes us special? What are our strengths and interests? What is our message? These are just some of the big questions we have been exploring through Philosophy, Maths, Writing, Reading,The Arts and our Critical Conversations. 

Below we are excited to share with you some of our self portraits and quotes from our discussions around what makes us special.
