Student Achievement
US Constitutional Convention
09 May
On Monday, 1st May, the Damascus College Year 12 Revolutions students re-enacted the US Constitutional Convention of 1787.
Posing as America’s founding fathers, they debated the composition of the new US Constitution, their positions on slavery and which protections to include in the Bill of Rights. Sequestered in the College Board Room they debated ‘in secret’ to come to an agreement. This is part of their study of the consequences of revolution and how key players sought to consolidate power in the foundling nation of America.
Congratulations to all the students involved, and to the Humanities Department for providing a creative learning experience.
