Hi my name is Quinn Shwan. I am a third year history major studying at the University of Sydney. For my unit History in the Making had us chose an organisation where we would make it our mission to "bring history alive". I wanted to pick a place that have a connection with and my first choice was to do Hammondville Public School.

​

The reason for selecting Hammondville Public School for my project is because of the rich history it has that isn’t known to the students or the community. On my first day going through the schools archives I was shocked to see the amount of photos, original documents and information there is about the school from the time it was opened in 1933. I believe that it’s important for the children that attend the school to know about the history of the school. When speaking to the librarian and deputy principle, I asked what they would like me to do and they both agreed a interactive website for the students would be great.
