Introduction

Welcome to the Blogspot of the 2012 Southern Hills Christian College and Carnarvon Christian School Canberra Trip! The purpose of this trip is for Year 7's to experience and learn about our capital Canberra and the Federal Government, Australian history, and its achievements as a nation.  The majority of the trip will be in and around Canberra, however we will be spending one day in the Snowy Mountains experiencing the snow. 

Some of the sights that we plan to visit are:

National Museum                       Parliament House Old and New       CSIRO Discovery Centre
Canberra Zoo  & Aquarium       War Memorial                                       The High Court           
Australian Institute of Sport       Questacon                                             Royal Australian Mint
Perisher Blue Snow Fields       Botanic Gardens

Remember the Blogspot will be updated every evening where possible. Please follow us each day on our blog as we explore the capital. Hopefully you will be able to share in your childs experience, even though it will be at a distance.Thank you for your support. We look forward to your comments and prayers during the trip.


God Bless
