Perspective – Pymble’s student research journal

The 2nd Edition of the student research journal, Perspective, was launched at the Student Research Conference in May 2022. It celebrates the scholarship of students from Year 7 to 12, including exemplars of research in Extension Science and Extension History. These courses provide excellent opportunities for student research, which in turn provides a firm foundation for embracing extensive inquiry and research projects at university. There are also articles from students who entered competitions, such as The National History Challenge, and who completed passion projects in courses or on their own.

The research topics indicate areas of interest and importance for young people, including equine health, the future of coal, Australian First Nations’ history, culture and truth telling, feminist perspectives on history, curatorial policies in Australian museums, Chinese-Australian culture and Little Big Histories of everyday items like chopsticks and paper.

We are proud to give our students a voice and a way of communicating their research to the world.

Perspective, Edition 2, is available online – Perspective Edition 2
