The Big Dig Archaeology Education Centre is part of Sydney Harbour YHA in The Rocks heritage precinct of Sydney.
The centre facilitates hands-on archaeology educational experiences and opens the archaeological site to the public.
Stage 2 students from OLOL went to The Big Dig earlier this week and worked as archaeologists to excavate artefacts from the simulated archaeological dig, then used their investigative skills to discover what life was really like for the convicts and early settlers who lived in The Rocks during the 1800s.

Our students took part in meaningful Holy Week reflections, journeying through key events including Jesus washing the disciples’ feet, the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane and the Stations of the Cross. Through prayer, Scripture and symbolic actions, the children deepened their understanding of Jesus’ love and sacrifice. It was a reverent and powerful experience for all and we are so proud of how our students embraced this special time.
