PARLIAMENT AND CIVICS EDUCATION REBATE (PACER)

Last week, Year 6 students had an educational tour of the national capital on Thursday and Friday. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s rich history, culture, heritage and democracy.

For many years the Australian Government has recognized the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as a part of their Civics and Citizenship education and has contributed towards costs through the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) program.  Funding of $20 per student was provided under the PACER grant.

We are extremely grateful for this support and look forward to sharing student reflections via the newsletter in the weeks ahead.
