After
studying a unit about Democracy
and Government, students visited Canberra and the Snowy Mountains.
The trip was three great days of
sightseeing and learning. We visited Parliament House meeting our local
member and seeing where the laws that govern our country are made,
participated in a mock election, visited the AIS to compare our sporting
prowess with our great athletes, played in the snow, learnt about the
sacrifices Australians made during the wars at the War Memorial and had
a great time too!

for gold. Nobody found a fortune! The night's entertainment was a bush

Jenolan Caves which were spectacular were the last destination.
Everyone was exhausted but they all had a
great time.
