Year 9 Canberra Tour  

Australian Government Assistance for National Capital Excursion  

Students from Scotch College have recently undertaken an educational tour of the National Capital. While on tour, the boys participated in a variety of educational programmes focused on Australia's history, culture, heritage and democracy.  

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the National Capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist you in meeting the cost of the excursion, the Australian Government contributes funding under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) programme toward the travel expenses incurred. This contribution will be paid directly to the School upon completion of the excursion. Once it has been received by the School, it will be refunded to you and shown as a credit on your fees statement.  

We would like to thank the Australian Government for their support of this programme. The Canberra Tour was a rewarding experience for all students, with 93 boys and 10 teachers attending.
