On Wednesday the 7th of August, years 9 and 10 travelled to Canberra for very interesting tours around the Australian War Memorial and the Parliament House. We visited the War Memorial first and had an hour tour, year 9 looked at WWI and WWII while year 10 looked at the Vietnam War. Both tours had good feedback and positive comments from students, teachers and the War Memorial staff. After the War Memorial we went to Parliament House for another tour where we got to see the Senate and the House of Representatives. This tour only went for 45 minutes but was still very interesting. The tour also had positive feedback and comments from everyone involved. We would like to thank Mr Hughes, Mr Ellison and Miss Greacen for the opportunity to see two of Australia’s most famous icons, we greatly appreciate it. We would also like to thank Goodes Coaches for taking us to and from Canberra and from venue to venue, we appreciate your time and effort to make the day as great as it was.
