Year 6 Students have spent four days on an exciting educational journey to Canberra, immersing themselves in Australia’s rich political and cultural heritage for the Civics and Citizenship trip.

Closely linked to the Civics and Citizenship curriculum, it offered students firsthand experiences of the institutions and values that shape our democracy. Highlights included a guided tour of Parliament House, where students witnessed the workings of federal government, and an interactive visit to Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre.

They also explored the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), several national museums, and paid their respects at the Australian War Memorial, deepening their understanding of Australia’s history and national identity.

The Canberra experience not only brought classroom learning to life but also created lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for civic responsibility among the Year 6 cohort.
