Year 6
Assistant Principal's Report

Greetings from Canberra!

At the moment our Year 6 students are on our annual tour of Canberra. This is a massive undertaking, with hours of preparation done by our Year 6 teachers and Office staff prior to us even getting on the bus.

Our Year 6 students get a fast-paced, 'taster' tour of Canberra's most popular attractions. So far, we have experienced the Australian Institute of Sport (always a big favourite!) as well as visiting the Royal Australian Mint to see the story behind the coins we seem to find down the back of the couch all the time, the Museum of Australian Democracy to learn about how we, the people, have a massive role to play in the running of the country and the High Court of Australia, where we were lucky enough to sit in on some of the proceedings in the current Rinehart case. We've also done a walking tour of the Australians of the Year monuments and have visited the Dog on the Tuckerbox in Gundagai as well as the Holbrook Submarine on our way to our camp.

Camp is an extremely rewarding, enriching and exhausting experience for all students (and our adult helpers too!). Without the support of our staff and parent volunteers, we would not be able to run such an exciting experience for our students. Many thanks to all Year 6 teachers, Esther Priestley, Tracey Fraser, Anthea Chester, Scott Slater and Scott Kendall for their amazing assistance throughout our 2018 Canberra Tour - may you all enjoy a well deserved rest this weekend!
