YR 5/6 – CANBERRA CAMP
The Year 5 & 6 students from our school have recently undertaken an education tour of the national capital. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding of $30 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
Swimming lessons for all Primary students will be on the following dates in Term 1, 2018: February 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 & 21 February 2019 from 1:30pm – 3pm.
