Year 7/8 Level (Ages 12-14) - WHAT IS FASCISM? HAS FASCISM CHANGED?
Subject areas: History - Politics - Literature - English - Civics and Citizenship - Geography
This Semester one course will prompt students to learn and think deeply about past fascist dictatorships and the societies they created (mainly against the lense of Nazi Germany), and explore the way these ideas are present in our world today. By reading The Book Thief (Markus Zusak) students will explore the way knowledge is a form of power and how past and present forms of government have and still do use censorship to control. Themes of power, ethics of right and wrong, and conformity are some of the major themes that will be explored in this course. REGISTER INTEREST IN FORM BELOW


  • Year 9/10 Level (Ages 15-17) - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY - Past and Present
    Subject areas: History - Politics - Literature - English - Civics and Citizenship - Geography
    This Semester One course is designed to explore themes around politics, social awareness and responsibility, poverty and injustice, and ideas surrounding socialism (collectivism, “the greater good”, equality) v capitalism (meritocracy, inequality, Marxist theory, industrial revolution, exploitation) by exploring the text of An Inspector Calls (by J. B. Priestley). Students will look at the authors own life and how it has influenced his views, the historical context of when it was written and what eventuated afterwards. By analysing this text, students will develop an ability to think critically about the authors story and how the narrative was used to imply ideas. Students will learn to use evidence to write their own analytical essay surrounding these topics. REGISTER INTEREST IN FORM BELOW

Hi, I am Jessie..

I’m passionate about helping kids explore their world through real-life examples that resonate with their own experiences. I love guiding them to think critically and creatively about texts, news, and stories, and how these connect to their daily lives. My passion lies in the humanities because I believe they offer students a deeper understanding of the world—politically, geographically, and socially—while also helping them discover more about themselves.

With a background in psychology and sociology, and experience teaching History, English, and Literature, I’ve developed an educational philosophy centered on the interconnectedness of subjects. I believe the most impactful learning happens when students can organically weave together ideas across disciplines, building their own understanding. Inspired by Charlotte Mason, I aim to present students with rich ideas, empowering them to explore deeply through their natural curiosity and unique talents—while supporting and guiding them to grow even further.
