Our primary class (3456) will be going on an excursion on Friday the 6th of April, to Glenrock State Recreation Area. We will be accompanied by a guide, who will be teaching us about the history of the area and also the Aboriginal cultural history of Glenrock. Year 5 student, Drew Smith, has been an integral part in organising this tour and has even helped to apply for a grant to cover transportation of our students. (Please see below) - Stay tuned for more pictures and stories when we return.
The Unlocking Heritage travel subsidy program contributes $20 per student towards the travel costs to attend over 30 learning programs offered by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and Sydney Living Museums.
This financial support is offered exclusively to primary schools in NSW receiving Resource Allocation Model (RAM) funding with an FOEI of 100 and over. With a diverse range of programs delivered at some of the most important cultural and heritage sites in NSW, the travel subsidy aims to improve access and increase participation by students in curriculum-linked excursions.
Sydney Living Museums is working towards accessing more funding for terms 3 and 4 in 2018. We would still like to encourage eligible schools to visit the Unlocking heritage web page and register their expression of interest to be placed on a waiting list.
