Year 6 Canberra Trip

In Week 9, Year 6 students excitedly departed on their trip into the heart of Australian democracy: Canberra. At the crack of dawn, they made their way onto the buses and settled in for the long journey. On arrival in Canberra, they explored Parliament House and met with the Federal Member of Parliament for our North Sydney electorate, Trent Zimmerman.

The Year 6 students explored a number of different venues over the three days. They had opportunities to learn about the history of Canberra and the process of Federation in Australia. Students also learned about Australia’s representative democracy, the structure of Federal Parliament and the process of preferential voting in an election.
