School Incursions/Excursions

Students from our school 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 families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding to Ironside State School in the amount of $90 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. This amount was taken into account and applied to the final costing of Year 6 Canberra Camp. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
