Please find below a documentary clip from Lara's group on the realities of life at Chadwick Heights. This was a 50 point task, where students were asked to investigate student culture at the school (based on the text). Well done guys! This is a really fun, yet creative elaboration, which epitomizes the type of commitment we are looking for this year.
