Four-day excursion to Canberra

Stage 3 students from Ettalong Public School attended a four-day excursion to Canberra early this month.

"This was a great learning opportunity and experience for them all and, from all reports, it was a wonderful success with the students learning much and gaining in independence and social skills," said principal Mr Colin Wallis.

Mr Wallis said their accompanying teachers in made their own time available to leave their families and personal lives to take the students on the excursion.

"It really is beyond the call of duty and is indicative of the dedication of our staff," he said.

"This opportunity is not offered in all schools and I appreciate and value the fact that our school can still offer overnight excursions," he said.
