'Trove' Sister Hilda Knox, Benalla
Hands On!!
New Timetable Arrangements - In May we move to a slightly revised timetable. One to one sessions have, or are coming, to an end for most new students, who move to a ‘hands on session’ on the 2nd Thursday..
1st Thursday – new beginners (and ‘intermediate’ class members who would like to attend to review topics), a session focusing on learning new skills and developing a deeper understanding of the possibilities of family research.
2nd Thursday—'new beginners’ – hands on (bring your laptops/other devices used)
3rd Thursday—‘intermediate’ group – a hands on focus, but with a ‘pains and gains’ catch up and theme for the day in terms of theory/practice
4th Thursday—‘advanced’ group – this group is pretty competent ‘hands on’ but meets to review progress over the past month through sharing of ‘pains and gains’, shares family stories on topics selected to encourage a deeper look at their family history; guest speakers (intermediate students also invited to hear guest speakers).
Next 'Intermediate' Session will be in May on the 3rd Thursday afternoon - the third Thursday will be your special theme/hands on session from now on timetabled as Intermediate Group: The continuing theme of Her Story will apply for carry over during session - 'Earl Grey Scheme' - guest presenter Deb Saunders will come in at 3.30pm to tell us the story of her ancestor, Bridget, who was orphaned during the Irish Famine as part of the Earl Grey Scheme.
