In term 3, a group of Year 5 and 6 students had the privilege to travel to Canberra and Sydney for their week long camp.

In Canberra, the students had the opportunity to visit the Parliamentary Triangle, Questacon, Australian Institute of Sport and The Australian Mint.

Students had an amazing time in Sydney, with the main highlights being, visiting all the different animals at Taronga Zoo, walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, going on all the rides at Lunar Park, taking photos outside the Sydney Opera House, and going up the Sydney Tower Eye.

We have received lots of excellent feedback from the places students visited for displaying our school rules and also the respect everyone showed towards the places and also to others.
