A Lesson in Perth’s History for School Excursions

Home of the Swan Bells

The Bell Tower is an ideal place for school excursions in Perth. More than 85 school groups per year enjoy a unique glimpse into the history of this State and its connection with the historic bells from London’s most famous Royal Church, St Martin in the Fields in Trafalgar Square… and been engaged in interactive demonstrations available nowhere else in the world!

The Bell Tower is a safe and controlled environment for educational excursions for schools in Perth and our experienced staff are skilled at dealing with large groups of students. We have experienced guides with Working with Children Checks, who provide a unique opportunity for students to participate in the chiming of the historic bells.

When your group visits, we can arrange for a fascinating live demonstration and explanation of bell handling by one of our guides (advance notice required). As you wander around the Tower you will discover an ever growing collection of antique bells, clocks and bell-related material from all over the world.

Students will look at the order of the planets in the solar system along a scaled route. This will be followed by an extension activity related to the Solar System.

• M3. Sun, Earth and Moon

This activity compares the sizes of the sun, earth and moon and then engages the students in role-play to show how the sun, moon and earth interact. An introductory look at the planets is also included with a mnemonic to help remember the order of the planets from the sun

• M4. Lowell Telescope 1

This was the main research telescope at the observatory. Students will learn about some aspects of astronomical research and how the telescope works. There will be a discussion about the Mars exploration program and the use of helicopters on Mars, and the student will then make a paper helicopter.

• U3. Solar Rings

The students use teamwork to initially sort the planets into order on our solar rings diagram and then work out which orbital times belong to which planet. Students try to work out how old they would be on some of the planets based on the length of the planets’ orbits and then have an opportunity to see how old they would be on each of the planets. They then engage in an activity that looks at the sizes of the planets and is given a mnemonic to remember the size order.

Top Perth School Excursions & Holiday Camps for 2020

• James Turner

We know being a teacher is hard work. We also know that organising and running a year group excursion or holiday camp for half the school while trying to manage your own classroom, mark assignments, sleep, eat and keep your own life in check is a serious balancing act. So, to make your lives easier, we wanted to give you a head start for 2020 with our take on the top Perth school excursions and holiday camps. We’ve got something for all kids – from adrenaline-filled zip lines to historical recounts at Fremantle Prison. We hope these give you some ideas for next year to help you mark one thing off that never-ending list of to-dos.

Forest Edge Recreation Centre & Camp

Location | 133 Weller Rd, Waroona WA 6215

Located 90 minutes from the Perth CBD, the Forest Edge Recreation Camp in Waroona is the perfect spot if you need to keep those kids active for the entire day. The team here are fantastic at managing large cohorts of kids and have activities for days. We’re talking abseiling across two-staged heights of 8m and 20m and the largest flying fox in the southern hemisphere standing at a sizey 200m. Other activities include the raft building centre where kids can work in teams to build their own rafts out of poles and barrels and race other teams to the middle of the dam and back. 

Swan Valley Adventure Centre

Location | 58 Yule Ave, Middle Swan WA 6056

A great option for the day is the Swan Valley Adventure Centre located on the fringes of Perth. The team here pride themselves on customising group programs to suit each school and the curriculum. A typical day here can look like:

• Welcome briefing and introductions
• Team building exercises such as the mohawk walk, wire courses, island swings, Tarzan tyres and more
• Lunch breaks for the kids to enjoy the surrounds
• Rock climbing and abseiling

The array of activities on offer here will make sure your school cohort is kept busy and will be no doubt asleep on the way home. 

Fremantle Prison

If you are a primary school teacher hoping to blend the perfect outing with the curriculum, you’ve found your answer. The guys at the Fremantle Prison pride themselves on offering tours that connect directly with the Humanities and Social Studies learning area. The convict history tour will open your student’s eyes to prison life and will guarantee thrilling stories about high profile inmates, their crimes and escape attempts.

Spare Parts Puppet Theatre 

Location | 1 Short St, Fremantle WA 6160

Step inside the weird and wonderful Spare Parts Puppet Theatre for a day that the kids will never forget. Showcasing elaborate costumes and incredible stages, the very talented puppeteers are back in 2020 with their latest show – Miss Lily’s Fabulous Feather Boa. This performance is a joyous celebration of courage, honesty and pride with a central dilemma relevant to the social development of students. The best part? If you are a teacher, you can also download a huge list of resources to help prep the kids before the big day.

Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

Location | 120 Gilchrist Rd, Lesmurdie WA 6076

If your kids have been working on endangered species and the ecosystem – then a trip out to Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is a must-do. This not-for-profit venture aims to collect endangered, orphaned or sick animals, before rehabilitating them and reintroducing them back into the wild. Housing furry friends such as the Short Beaked Echidna and the Tawny Frogmouth, the volunteers can take your class through how they rescue these animals and what’s involved in keeping the species alive. You can even get the kids involved in the nocturnal tour for a different perspective where they will learn firsthand about native Australian nocturnal animals. 

Parliament of Western Australia

Location | 11 Harvest Terrace, West Perth, WA, 6000

If your kids are learning about Australian politics and how democratic governments function, then a trip to Parliament House is the perfect addition to your 2020 school excursion list. The best part? A visit is free and includes an interactive tour with an informative guide who can tailor the trip depending on your curriculum requirements. The tours are 75 minutes long and may be arranged for any weekday. However, the format will vary depending on whether Parliament is sitting at the time of the tour. If you time your run right, students can tour Parliament House and may have the opportunity to undertake a role-play in the Legislative Council or Legislative Assembly Chamber. Keep an eye out on their website for up to date information on when parliament is in action to avoid missing out.

Location | 1City West centre, Sutherland St, West Perth WA 6005

If you are a science teacher on the hunt for an interactive experience, then this one is for you. Scitech is the perfect spot to ignite your cohort’s curiosity and interest in science. With some of Perth’s best displays and exhibitions, Scitech welcomes groups of all sizes. You can find the pricing list and what to expect here.  

Location | Fraser Ave, Perth WA 6005

Last but not least, we couldn’t keep Kings Park out of this list as it has so many options for all school groups. The team at Kings Park offer so much such as:

• Bush camping survival skills: work in a team to address survival scenarios. 
• Child v.s. wild challenges: this includes bush skills and includes activities such as shelter building, finding drinking water, making damper and delivering simple first aid. Perfect for kids studying Health and Humanities.

NSW government announces school funding to be slashed by 1.25 per cent

Public schools in one state have been told to brace for “quite significant” funding cuts, as households opt to send their kids to independent schools.

Disturbing trend in Aussie schools

Public schools across NSW have been slapped with a “significant” funding cut, as the state tries to get teachers back into the classroom to help bolster flagging enrolment rates.

NSW Education Minister Prue Car informed principals on Tuesday of a decision to slash the School Budget Allocation Report (SBAR) by 1.25 per cent.

The SBAR provides government funding for public schools to pay for a range of things such as maintenance, electricity costs and teacher salaries – which make up the bulk of expenses.

Disaster and pandemic supplementation, which was introduced in 2019, is also slated to be phased out from the start of term 2 on April 29.

NSW Primary Principals Association president Robyn Evans said the decrease in SBAR funding would be “quite significant” on budgets, and hoped the government would stand by its commitment to support schools.

“It’s hard news to take but there’s a commitment from the department and the government to support the schools individually,” she said.

“While it’s a blanket plan, individual schools have unique needs.

“So we just have to weather the storm. No one is saying it’s going to be easy and but the change had to come.”

NSW Education Minister Prue Car said the funding reform would bring teachers back into classroom, after the Coalition’s ‘local schools and local decisions’ policy increased the number of executive roles such as assistant and deputy principals under temporary contracts.

“Student outcomes are our absolute priority and we must ensure teachers are spending their time where it matters: in the classroom,” she said.

“We are asking principals to make decisions that will help schools address the staffing issues they face across the state.

“If we want to rebuild enrolment numbers, we have to put high quality teachers in every classroom.

“It’s the only way we turn around student outcomes and instil confidence in our great public education system.”

Earlier on Tuesday, new figures released by the NSW Department of Education revealed public school enrolment rates across NSW had fallen for a fourth year in row, as households move to private, religious and independent schools.

Since Covid, total enrolment across government schools dropped by more than 24,000, from a peak 810,705 students in 2020, to 786,434 in 2023, despite the total number of student enrolments across the state increasing.

The state’s public schools reporting 1782 teacher vacancies as of the first week of 2024.

NSW Principals Council president Craig Petersen said schools would be affected differently depending on the size of their student body, and whether they receive addition flexible funding if they have students with disabilities, refugees or Aboriginal students.

Schools which have employed more than their established quota of staff, may not be able to afford to continue employing that teacher.

“The worst case means schools may not be able to employ some of the teachers in the programs they were running,” he said.

“In other cases it may well be that some minor improvements around the school will not be able to go ahead.

“What that 1.25 per cent means in context is going to depend on each school.”

NSW Teachers Federation president Henry Rajendra said NSW’s public school system had to evolve after previous policies “deliberately left schools to fend themselves”.

“We have long argued against the previous Coalition government’s failed Local School, Local Decisions policy that devolved education funding to school bank accounts, pushing workload, accountability and blame onto schools,” he said.

“It is now up to the current state government to rebuild the system by providing the additional permanent staffing and centralised support all public schools need and students deserve.

More Coverage

“To do so, we allow principals and teachers to focus on what matters most; teaching and learning and realising the potential of all students.”

The funding cut will affect all schools, with the exception of small schools, Schools for Specific Purposes (SSPs) which support students with intellectual disabilities, and other moderate to high learning and support needs, as well as Intensive English Centres.

The government has confirmed the funding reform will not affect P & C funds, community funds, spending from schools’ allocated budgets or money already transferred.
