In Week 5 the NSW Fire Brigade came to visit Year One as part of the Safe Living PDHPE unit.
The students were taught about fire safety in the home and using the "000" emergency number responsibly. They were able to ask questions about the fire equipment and they saw the protective clothing worn by the fire fighters.
The students were able to go inside the fire truck, use the hose and hear the siren. They were able to personally thank the fire brigade for keeping the community safe.
The Year One teaching team thank the fire brigade for their generosity of spirit in sharing their knowledge about this important learning with the students.

What a fantastic experience - visiting Parliament House and spending time in our very own House of Representatives! 🇦🇺 Students stepped into the roles of Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition, Speaker and Serjeant-at-Arms . They debated whether a new law should be passed - schools should allocate 3 hours a day for sport 🏏⚽🏀 A lively debate, confident speeches and plenty of laughs made for an unforgettable experience. The final vote? The final count? You’ll have to ask the students! 😉

Our Stage 3 students stepped back in time during their visit to Old Parliament House, a building that is almost 100 years old and full of Australian history. As they explored the historic chambers, including the Senate and House of Representatives chambers, students discovered how important decisions were once made for the country. Through interactive exhibits and hands-on activities, they examined historical artefacts and learned how democracy gives Australians a voice in their community. The excursion brought history to life in a fun and engaging way.

After enjoying some lovely sunshine outdoors and sharing our lunch together, our Stage Three students visited the Australian Film Institute. During our visit, we learnt about the power of media and how text, images, and sound can all be combined to create strong and meaningful messages. It was a very engaging and educational experience that gave us a deeper understanding of storytelling and communication through film and media.
