Here’s some more snaps of the exciting morning stage 2 (Group A for Awesome) had, today. This morning, they were presented with their choice of string instrument (Violin, Viola, Cello or Double Bass) to learn throughout the Captivate strings program over the next couple of years. They all had intense focus and naturally held the posture and poise of classical musicians. This is the beginning of an exciting chapter in their lives. #stcaniceskatoombamusic #stcaniceskatoomba💙🩵 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #MusicEducation #FutureMusicians #LoveWhereYouLearn #captivatestringsprogram

Our Stage 3 excursion to Canberra was an enriching and exciting experience, full of memorable visits to some of the nation's most significant landmarks. Over the course of the trip, we explored Australia's political, cultural, and historical heritage, all while learning more about the country's democratic processes and achievements. Here's a recap of the highlights of our adventure: Parliament House We kicked off our excursion with a visit to Parliament House, where students had the opportunity to explore Australia's center of government. The impressive architecture and fascinating history behind the building left us all in awe. We learned about the workings of the Australian Parliament and gained an understanding of how laws are made and passed in the country. National Capital Exhibition Next, we visited the National Capital Exhibition, where we discovered the story behind the creation of Canberra. The exhibition provided a fascinating insight into the design and planning of the city, highlighting how the capital evolved from its inception to the vibrant city it is today. Questacon by Night Later in the evening, we visited Questacon for a fun and educational experience. Questacon is Australia's National Science and Technology Centre, and by night, it became an exciting hub of interactive exhibits and activities. Students engaged with hands-on displays, making learning about science and technology both enjoyable and memorable. Old Parliament House via Embassies Lodge Tour The next day, we toured Old Parliament House, stepping into the heart of Australia's political history. Walking through the historic halls, students could imagine the debates and decisions that shaped the nation. On our way to the site, we also passed the Embassies Lodge, gaining insight into the diplomatic importance of Canberra as the political hub of Australia. Museum of Australian Democracy At the Museum of Australian Democracy, students learned about the evolution of democracy in Australia, with a special focus on the significance of voting rights and the development of political freedoms. The museum’s interactive displays sparked discussions on the role of citizens in shaping the future of the country. National Electoral Education Centre In the National Electoral Education Centre, we delved deeper into the Australian electoral system. Students engaged in activities that helped them understand the importance of voting, the role of elections in democracy, and how the federal system works in practice. It was an essential part of our learning about how our political system operates. Australian War Memorial The final stop on our journey was the Australian War Memorial, where students paid tribute to those who served in conflicts, both past and present. The memorial’s moving exhibits and the Last Post Ceremony provided a solemn and reflective moment, offering a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by Australians in war. The excursion was an incredible learning experience for all of us, with each location providing a new perspective on Australia’s history, democracy, and cultural heritage. We left Canberra with a greater appreciation of the nation's journey and the importance of being informed, engaged citizens. We hope that all staff and students had a wonderful night's sleep after such a busy and fulfilling couple of days. We’re looking forward to hearing all about it at St Canice's on Monday
