Stage 3
Year 5 & 6 Students
Stage 3 Virtual Excursion to Canberra
As excursions are impossible at the moment, we didn’t want our Stage 3 students missing out on the wonderful educational institutions and attractions.
Thanks to DART Learning, we were lucky to secure live tickets to all the Canberra Virtual Excursions.
Students will have an opportunity to explore Australia’s identity through discussion and object interpretation relevant to key moments and events in Australia’s history.
Students can take a short tour through the galleries, see items from the National Collection, hear stories of men and women who have served for Australia, and explore the Commemorative Area.
Students will explore the National Museum of Australia’s collection, to discover key figures and events related to Australia’s unique History.
Stage 3 will also explore historical spaces in the heritage building, including the two chambers of Parliament, and allow students to interact with presenters to develop their understanding of how we can all have our say and make a difference.
Students will learn about our minting process, from a coin’s initial design all the way through to shipping it off to a bank.
Also students will explore the 6 million parts that make up a plane and learn skills in how to think, make, try and refine your paper plane to influence its flight and aerodynamics.
We have a full week of virtual excursions to :
Mon 30-Aug 10:00 National Museum of Australia
Mon 30-Aug 2:00 Museum of Australian Democracy
Tue 31-Aug 10:00 National Gallery of Australia
Tue 31-Aug 2:00 National Film and Sound Archive
Wed 1-Sep 10:00 Australian War Memorial
Wed 1-Sep 2:00 National Portrait Gallery
Thu 2-Sep 10:00 Parliamentary Education Office
Thu 2-Sep 2:00 Questacon
Fri 3-Sep 10:00 Royal Australian Mint
We are certain that our students will thoroughly enjoy joining in and travelling through all the institutions and attractions together.
