Excursion to the State Library, Wednesday 23 June

We were lucky to get in before the end of second term, because I was a bit sluggish in  sending off the booking request. Despite this, the friendly people at the State Library of Victoria have written back to say they can accommodate us. The details are below:

  • All-day excursion
  • Arrive in the quadrangle at 9, ready to leave school by 9.15.
  • Bring ONLY a small bag (handbag for girls, manbag for boys), with a snack, small water bottle and EITHER money for lunch or a cut lunch.
  • 11am – Orientation Tour of the Library with one of the Library teachers
  • 11.45am – Experimedia Room: fun and frivolity in a massive games room – a library resource for the 21st century
  • You won’t be back at school till 3.30 or 3.40 but if you wish you can keep going along the train line OR be dismissed from the State Library with a parent’s permission.
  • 7Z is going with us, along with their teacher, Mrs Starbuck, and your new coordinator next term, Ms Ind.
