Year 6 Canberra Trip

Our Year 6 students have recently undertaken an education tour of the National Capital. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy. 

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the National Capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist in covering the cost of this experience for our students, the Australian Government contributes funding under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate Program. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion and subsidises the cost of these wonderful experiences.

Highlights of the excursion for the students included – Parliament House, Questacon, Australian Institute of Sport and the Mint.
