On Friday 23rd April, an exhilarating excursion was led by teachers for the Year 7 Geography students from 7A, 7M and 7N.  We headed off to the Blue Mountains, Katoomba and saw the Three Sisters close up. We also sighted art  sculptures, relics of the coal mines of many years ago and observed the complex rocky formations found all around the Scenic World boardwalk, deep in the temperate forest.

Year 7 students also got to experience the fun of two Scenic World rides – the Scenic Railway and the Scenic Cableway. The Scenic Railway was a little cart, with windows all around, which travelled down a steep, rocky track. All that could be heard were the screams and squeals of excitement from terrified students. The Scenic Cableway, in contrast, was a much calmer encounter. We were able to watch as the spacious cart slowly travelled up the cable, spotting fascinating views of the famous three sisters. After lunch, we stopped by the famous Echo Point Lookout and it was a perfect day to see the views of the entire mountain range.

The Year 7 Geography classes and their teachers had a memorable experience and a fun time together on this unforgettable trip. We thank our College for this wonderful learning opportunity.
