During week 10, 46 Year 6 students embarked on a wonderful excursion to our nation’s
capital city, Canberra. The students visited many exciting venues while on the trip
including New Parliament House, PEO in old Parliament House, Australian Institute of
Sport, Telstra Tower, Questacon, The Australian War Memorial, Cockington Green and
the CSIRO. Of course a highlight was a day trip to the snow where the students had fun
playing in the snow. As you can see Year 6 students had fantastic time on their Canberra
excursion. They were kept extremely busy and are commended on their outstanding
Morgie manners and enthusiasm during all activities.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able
to visit their National Capital as part of their civics and citizenship education. The
Australian Government contributed $60 per student under the Parliament and Civics
Education Rebate programme. This rebate reduced the cost of the excursion for all the
students that attended. We would like to thank the Australian Government for their
support.
