A greater appreciation of democracy

Year 5 and 6 students from Pretty Beach Public School travelled to Canberra to explore and learn more about the nation's capital.

"Students and teachers had a magnificent time participating in tours of Parliament House, the War Memorial, Old Parliament House and the National Museum of Australia," principal, Ms Deborah Callender said.

"They also loved discovering the Royal Australian Mint, participating in night tours of the Institute of Sport and the Botanical Gardens and finished off the trip with Questacon.

"A huge thanks goes to the teachers who attended the excursion and to the parents for supporting their children's learning and funding the trip.

"We all had such a great time and came away from the experience with a greater appreciation of democracy and our government system, and also made some amazing memories along the way," Ms Callender said.
