Upcoming events
Year 5/6 Sovereign Hill Excursion - Mon 30th June - Wed 2nd July
We are off to Sovereign Hill, Ballarat, staying in the onsite accommodation.
This camp will support our students’ inquiry learning brilliantly; The Gold Rush in Grade 5 and Immigration Studies in Grade 6. The students will “Step back in time, uncover history and ignite their curiosity on the Ballarat Goldfields”
Included in the “Stay & Learn Gold Package” students will have a multi day pass to enter Sovereign Hill, visit the Aura Night Show, participate in two education programs, watch a gold pour demonstration, dip their own candle, visit an underground quartz mine and have time to wander around Sovereign Hill in small groups!
This will be an amazing opportunity for all students and will be a pivotal part of their inquiry learning.
