The girls in Year 5 were fortunate to experience many valuable learning opportunities, while visiting Canberra in Term 4. We participated in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage, and democracy. The learning experiences supported our current Collaborative Learning Project\u2019s Big Idea; \u2018Our development as a nation has shaped who we are today.\u2019<\/p>\n

To assist with the cost of the excursion, the Australian Government, through the PACER program, (Parliament and Civics Education Rebate), contributed $30 per student. The Government recognises the importance of all young Australians having the opportunity to visit the National Capital, as part of their Civics and Citizenship education.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the Parliament Education Office, where the girls and teachers engaged in a mock debate, as members of the Senate and House of Representatives.<\/p>\n
