The three day excursion was full of adventure and rich learning experiences to say the least. From Parliament House to The Australian War Memorial, students engaged in a variety of small group tours. They saw legislation being debated in the House of Representatives and even sat inside the Senate! Students discovered the seriousness and heavy impacts during Australian wartime as well as visited the tomb of the ‘Unknown Soldier’.
The National Exhibition Centre saw students study the importance of Canberra and what it means to our nation. They learnt about the purposeful and intricate design of Canberra and its many important buildings, as well as its many famous architects.
Other sites that were visited included The Australian Institute of Sport, The Australian Electoral Commission and the Questacon. Students also engaged in a number of fun, physical activities including rock climbing and laser tag.
Many students created some wonderful Year memories during the camp.
