2019 Canberra Trip

NMHS Canberra 2019
HIGH SCHOOL
No doubt a highlight for the retail loving students, a few hours were spent shopping around
Canberra Centre Mall, snagging bargains and eating in the food courts. Many returned to
the bus weighed down with bags of goodies and souvenirs.
Our final destination for the day was an evening session at Questacon Science &
Technology Centre. In this state-of-the-art facility students to learnt about water, light,
electricity and sound through engaging games and interactive displays. Students pondered
the future as they explored exhibits on robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Students felt the
rumble of a magnitude 4 earthquake, saw lighting generated in an insulated cage and saw
a mini tornado form in a wind tunnel. With adrenaline pumping, our students tested their
courage by dangling off a suspended beam and free falling from a height of six metres.
