On a sunny Monday morning a very excited Stage 3 went on a trip to the amazing New South Wales State Parliament, it took a while but it was most definitely worth it.
Before they left for their expedition there was a very slow roll call. Finally the restless students were bustling onto the bus for the long trip to Circular Quay. Most students passed the time by playing games and talking.
After the bus stopped they all stumbled off the crammed automobile and walked briskly to the amazing Botanical Gardens where the unsuspecting students almost walked into a tv shoot! Mrs Bowen excitedly asked if they could be in the show. Sadly, she was turned down as it was a television show based years ago and they didn’t exactly look like they were students from the 1950s and so they continued their excursion.
After a short lunch and toilet break and the children headed off to State Parliament!
After having their precious bags scanned and stored in a trolley they were led to an amazing leaf green room called the Legislative Assembly where they all had a short debate about extended school hours. Then they quickly went to the Legislative Council to continue the debate.
After collecting their luggage they hopped onto the bus and started their trip home.
It was an amazing day!
