Excursions and Camps

​Excursions and Incursions 

Class Teachers organise exciting and engaging excursions and incursions for their students that will further enhance a topic students are learning about. Excursions are chosen based on students current teaching and learning and link to  the Australian National Curriculum, allowing students a real world application of the class teaching and learning . Parents are often invited to assist with class excursions. The role of parents is to support teachers and assist with supervision of small groups of students. Previous examples of excursions have included historical parks and sites, museums, religious sites, animal parks as well as sports and recreation venues.
