In Bathurst, Year 5 students experienced opportunities through educational programs with a focus on Australia\u2019s gold rush history, and the impact it had on Australia\u2019s growth, culture, and politics. From visiting the impressive Bathurst Court House and Historical Society to learning about the country’s geology at the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum, the students enjoyed a rich learning experience. They also participated in a \u2018Life in Colonial Australia\u2019 program and got their hands wet panning for gold in the local creek. The excursion developed their understanding of Australia\u2019s Gold Rush and Colonial history and culture and helped them to bond with each other and their teachers at the start of what promises to be an exciting and rewarding year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
