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.

This morning, our Year 4 students gathered with parents and family members to celebrate a beautiful class liturgy, reflecting on the scripture and learning explored throughout this term’s learning cycle. Through prayer, song and reflection, students shared their growing understanding of God’s Word and the ways it invites us to live with faith, compassion and hope in our everyday lives. It was a special opportunity to come together as a Year 4 community and recognise prayer as central to our Catholic tradition — a time to pause, reflect and strengthen our connection with God and one another. A special thank you to our Year 4 students for their beautiful preparation, reverence and thoughtful participation in leading the liturgy. Your care and reflection created a meaningful experience for all who attended. Thank you also to our Year 4 teachers for their support and guidance in helping students prepare and bring this celebration to life. Thank you to all of our families who joined us and helped make this celebration so special.
