Students in Year 6 recently visited our nation’s capital on educational tour. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.
Here are some of the highlights:
In Canberra we to many different places such as Parliament House, the Old Parliament House, the National Museum of Australia and a lot of other interesting places. We learnt about how the site for Australia’s capital was chosen and how Canberra was designed in a world-wide competition. My favourite part was Flip Out and the National Museum.

Year 6 went to visit Canberra and I especially liked Flip Out. The whole trip was so much fun. We went to the art museum, rock climbing, Parliament House and we learned different things in different places. At Parliament House, I learned that there are two houses, the Senate where the room is red, and the House of Representatives which is green.

My favourite part of the Canberra excursion was Questacon because there were a lot of unique activities and puzzles. Some were hard and others were pretty easy. I enjoyed it a lot overall. The new Lego room and the ninth room were by far the best. We also learnt lots of new things. We now know what an embassy is!
