Year 6 Canberra Tour: Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER)

Our Year 6 Students will soon be undertaking an education tour of the national capital.  

Students will be 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 and to assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding to our school. The total rebate is $90.00 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program. The rebate amount will be paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion. Upon receipt of this rebate, a credit will be applied to your parent account by the accounts department.
