Parliament House

Last week the Year Six classes went to Parliament House. After a quick tour of Parliament House we learned how preferential voting works and all about election day. We were able to sit in both the lower house and upper house chambers. The mace and the black rod were very interesting to learn about. The most enjoyable part of the excursion was the role-play. We loved sitting in the members' chairs and acting out a bill being passed in the lower house.

Thank you to our parent helpers who attended the excursion also.
