Infrastructure Inquiry

To help one group with their inquiry into how the emergency services fit into our infrastructure, we had a visit from Senior Constable Wansink today.  Not only did she answer the questions they had asked, but the students showed their understanding and their thinking by asking questions to make strong connections between ideas.  She also kindly took time to share about some roles within the police force and how different parts of it work together.
