Canberra Camp - 2025

The camp will run from Monday the 5th through to Wednesday the 7th of May. It is important that students are at school by 6:15am on Monday morning, at the latest. Students will need to see their classroom teacher to have their name marked on the roll upon arrival before meeting their day group leader and loading their luggage onto the bus.

Please make sure your child has packed a drink bottle, morning tea and lunch for the first day.

Over the course of the three days students will visit the following attractions:

• Old Parliament House
• National Capital Exhibition
• Royal Australian Mint
• National Film and Sound Archive of Australia
• Australian Institute of Sport
• Parliament House
• Embassy Drive
• Mount Ainslie Lookout
• Australian War Memorial
• National Arboretum and POD Playground
• National Dinosaur Museum
• Questacon

Please note that students will need to pack their full school uniform. This will be worn on Tuesday when we visit Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial.

The weather in Canberra can be unpredictable. We suggest wearing layers with fully enclosed shoes.

Parliament and Civics Education Rebate
Students from our school will soon be undertaking an educational tour of the national capital. Students will be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia's history, culture, heritage and democracy.

The Australian government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursions the Australian Government is contributing funding to our school in the amount of $45 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs The rebate is paid directly to the school upon the completion of the excursion and has already been discounted from the price initially charged to parents.
