On a rainy, cold and dull day they also took a trip to Perisher Valley.
It was a great experience for them when they visited the Australian War Memorial for a lesson on ANZAC legends.
The students really enjoyed their time there and learnt a lot.
They watched a sound and light show at the Australian War Memorial of a Lancaster bomber on a mission over Germany during World War 2.
On a visit to the Australian Electoral Commission, students learnt about our voting system. They conducted a poll to learn about preferential voting.
