EXCURSION TO PORT ARTHUR HISTORIC SITE – TUESDAY 24 SEPTEMBER

During Term 2 and 3, both 3/4D and 3/4/5L have been learning about Australian History, in particular, the convicts and settlement of Australia.

During these units of work, the students have taken an interest into the settlement and convict history of Tasmania. The two locations looked at closely were Cascade Female Factory and Port Arthur.

As a reward to the students for their efforts and quality work during these units of work, Miss Levett and Miss Dowling planned a day at Port Arthur Historic Site to see first-hand the land where convicts lived for all those years.

During the excursion, the students were given the opportunity to participate in the following:

• Harbour Cruise
• Hands on Brickmaking Activity
• Site Exploring
