As part of their Civics and Citizenship unit, Year 9 students attended a two-day camp in Adelaide during Week 8, where they engaged in a range of educational, cultural, and team-building activities. At Parliament House, students were given a guided tour through both the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council, where they discussed the roles and responsibilities of Members of Parliament and considered how state and federal levels of government interact in shaping laws and policies. At the Old Adelaide Gaol, students explored original cells and historic artefacts while learning how punishment and justice have evolved in South Australia over the past century. The South Australian Museum provided the chance to view significant exhibits, with many students particularly interested in the First Nations cultural displays and the natural history collections. Students enjoyed an all-you-can-eat dinner at Charlie’s Diner and took part in a fast-paced fitness and collaboration session at AFL Max.

Thank you to Miss Caputo, Ms Matulic and Toby for accompanying students on the camp!
