Thursday has been full of learning, good times and fun, as have our earlier days at camp. We are so proud of how our Gillen Grade 6s continue to impress strangers and the staff by being kind, proud and creative at every opportunity.

This morning started with a drive to the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex where we saw the ginormous dishes, tried on space suits, and asked great questions like, ‘Is there oxygen on other planets?’ It was an awesome start to the morning.

After that, we visited the High Court and were able to learn so much about the different functions of that important pillar of our democracy. The kindness of the Gillen students stood out with many strangers commenting on our exceptional friendliness and lovely manners.

After lunch, we headed to the much anticipated Mint. We were able to see coins being made, learn some history about decimal currency, and meet Titan the money-making robot! So much learning and very creative questions from all of our students.

As our day drew to a close, we went up Telstra Tower, with many students being proud and brave to challenge their fear of heights! We were very kind to the many visitors enjoying the view with us.

In the evening, we went to the Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre where we could play on the slide and enjoy the pools. We loved seeing the students being creative and innovative with the games they played, and really enjoying the friendships we have consolidated having been on this big adventure for the whole week. ❤️💛🖤
