This week, our 5/6 White and 5/6 Red classes participated in the “Visit at Our House” program via Zoom. The program is a live, interactive and engaging way for students to explore the development of democracy, the levels of government and how the bicameral system works to make laws in NSW.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and took away some valuable insights into how our government operates.

Billy reflected: “It was informative and interesting and taught us a lot about how parliament works.” Estelle added: “It was interesting to see and learn about which parties sit where. We even learnt a new word, ‘bicameral’, which means having two chambers.”

This program provided an excellent opportunity for students to connect classroom learning with real-world knowledge, helping them to build a deeper understanding of civics and citizenship.
