Stage 3 Excursion to Canberra

From June 17 to June 19, 100 Stage 3 students and 6 teachers attended an Excursion to Canberra. It was a very busy 3 days exploring Canberra and visiting many places such as Parliament House, Old Parliament House, The War Memorial, The Mint, The National Museum of Australia, The Australian Institute of Sport, CSIRO and Questacon. The mornings and nights were very chilly, but we had comfortable cabins and excellent food to keep us warm. Although we enjoyed spending time with our friends, we were also happy to see our families again and thank them for letting us participate in such a wonderful experience.

I loved Questacon because I was able to explore different types of planets. I also really enjoyed the Mint because I was able to learn how the coins were manufactured and how many coins are made every day. Maggie 6R

During the 3 three days of camp I enjoyed Questacon the most because of the fun activities I experienced. For example, the 7m free fall. I got to go down. I also enjoyed the time I got to spend with my friends and teachers. Rihanna 6R
