Australian Government Assistance for National Capital Excursion

On Wednesday 5 September, Year 6 students from the Wyvern and Lindfield campuses will depart for an educational tour of the national capital. While on this tour they will participate in a variety of educational programs focused on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy. These include the National Museum of Australia, Museum of Australian Democracy – Old Parliament House, Electoral Education Centre, Parliament House, Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre, CSIRO Discovery, Australian Institute of Sport, and The Australian War Memorial.

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. The Australian Government contributes funding under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) programme towards the travel expenses incurred.

We would like to thank the Australian Government for their support of this program.

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