Canberra

During the school camp, our Stage 3 students will have an exciting schedule filled with engaging activities. They’ll kick off their adventure at the National Capital Exhibition Centre, exploring interactive displays that highlight the people, events, history, and design that shaped Canberra. Students will delve into the city’s past, discussing why Canberra was chosen as the federal site, examining the competing designs from the international competition, and reflecting on whether the original design principles are still visible today. Following this, they’ll visit Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre, where hands-on science activities await. Students can create music on a giant floor piano, test their skills against Olympic athletes, and even experience a thrilling 6.2-meter free fall slide. With daily science shows included in their entry, the students will have plenty of opportunities to explore and discover, making for a memorable camp experience!
