Lily Konstantin wins Australian History Challenge with piece focused on migration

·

Lily Konstantin from Casimir Catholic College has been named the NSW State Winner in the Migration category of the National History Challenge.

Lily’s moving submission told the story of her grandmother’s inspiring journey from Greece to Australia in the 1950s. Through her work, Lily captured the challenges and determination needed to build a new life in a foreign land.

The awards ceremony celebrated not only the family’s story, but also the power of history to connect generations.

The National History Challenge, a free research-based competition for Australian students, fosters curiosity and engagement with history.
