Issoudun rotations continue

The first rotation of our Issoudun program is complete and we are now at the end of the first week of our second rotation. Our Hartzer Group 1 students returned home to their families and friends, after four weeks together immersing themselves in their learning and getting outdoors in Sydney and the areas surrounding Bowral. 

The Nous Sommes Group 1 students finished their program with the Heart Project expo in the Performing Arts Centre, where they showcased their passion projects with creativity and a depth of knowledge that they shared with staff and students who attended the expo. 

City and suburban excursions exploring a maths trail and urbanisation marked the end of the Je Suis Group 1 program, along with the screening of the short film reflections made by students in this group.

The first week of rotation two has flown by with the Hartzer group spending time in Canberra before their arrival in Bowral, the Nous Sommes group enjoying a cheerleading session and a Performing Arts excursion, and the Je Suis group visiting the Immigration Museum and Chinatown.   

Learning about Canberra's history

Issoudun Hartzer Group 2 spent three days on an educational tour of our National Capital, Canberra. They were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on their inquiry project question “How does Canberra tell the stories of Australians?”.

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 families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding of $45 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
