Australian Government assistance for our 4,5,6 Canberra excursion
Students from our school have recently undertaken an educational tour of the national capital. While on this tour they participated in a variety of educational programmes focused on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit their National Capital as part of their civics and citizenship education. To assist withmeeting the cost of the excursion, the Australian Government is contributing funding under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) programme toward the travel expenses incurred.

We would like to thank the Australian Government for their support of this program.
Activities undertaken are shown below. (Students also visited the National Film & Sound Archive)

We hope that the excursion was a rewarding experience for all students.
