Year 7 students from both St Clare and St Catherine Campuses at Kolbe Catholic College recently enjoyed an exciting excursion to Melbourne Museum to explore the spectacular Rome: Empire exhibition. This memorable occasion marked a significant milestone for our College, as it was the very first excursion bringing together students from both campuses.

The excursion provided a wonderful opportunity for students to enrich their learning across Italian, Art and Humanities, bringing their classroom studies to life through an engaging exploration of ancient Roman history and culture.

The Rome: Empire exhibition was truly brilliant! Students were fascinated by the remarkable collection of artefacts, which offered a glimpse into the daily lives, achievements and rich cultural heritage of the ancient Romans. It was wonderful to see their curiosity and enthusiasm as they discovered more about one of history’s most influential civilisations.

The excitement continued as students explored the museum’s Wondrous Planet exhibition. This highly interactive and entertaining experience captivated our pupils, providing plenty of opportunities to discover, explore and learn in an engaging environment.

Adding a little Italian flair to the day, Mrs Russo also spotted the Brunetti pop-up café, offering a tempting selection of delectable European pastries and, of course, authentic Italian espresso coffee!
