Year 5/6 

Canberra Camp

Year 5/6 students from our school have recently undertaken an education tour of the national capital, Canberra. 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 our school in the amount of $75.00 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion. We are very grateful for this initiative as it reduced the out of pocket cost for camp thereby enabling us to undertake additional activities.
