Canberra Experience
Our Year 6 girls’ and boys’ classes went to Canberra on Tuesday 4 June for four amazing exploring the many attractions of our amazing Capital. Complementing their classroom inquiry into Government and Democracy, the Canberra Experience Camp is always a rewarding and enriching program, with our girls and boys visiting places including The Governor’s Residence, Parliament House and the War Memorial.
There were many highlights of the Camp, ranging Parliament House and having our local Member for Deakin Michael Sukkar taking time to come and greet us all, being shown around the Governor-General’s residence and visiting Questacon. It was a fantastic few days watching our students look out for and after each other, developing new friendships and asking lots of questions to enhance their learning.
Heritage Trail
On Thursday 6 June our Year 1 boys were excited and most grateful, to be led on a ‘Heritage Trail’ by Life Governor and past student Lynne Franke. Our boys gained a strong appreciation of the rich history of Tintern Grammar as part of their Now and Then Inquiry learning. The boys also visited the former Southwood Boys’ Grammar Campus in Maidstone Street Ringwood for a tour of where it all began before our Parallel Learning model.
Business Expo
On Wednesday 12 June our Year 5s presented their Business Expo to the Community. Working in pairs, students have spent the term developing, analysing, advertising, and preparing a small business, and our Junior School community visited the businesses at the special Expo. After the Expo, students will reflect on the success of their endeavours via feedback forms and their profit and loss statements.
