To coincide with our term 1 HASS focus, Importance of the Past, the year 2’s will be visiting the Fremantle Prison on Friday, March 31st. Children will participate in a one-hour Historical Prison tour where they will explore the building and cells of Fremantle Prison and discover what life was like for a convict transported to the Swan River Colony. The tour guides provide an entertaining experience for the children as they discover how time was passed in the yards while marvelling at original prisoner works of art.
We will be leaving school at 10.45am and returning by 2.15pm. All students will need to wear their school uniform and closed-in shoes. Children will have their recess before leaving school and take their school bags with them.
They will need to have a hat, water bottle and their lunch to take with them. They will have their lunch on the prison grounds after their tour.
We are unable to take volunteering parents along with us as only 2 adults are to attend each class. The cost of the excursion is $20.00. This covers the cost of the bus and participation in the program.
Permission forms and payments are due by 24 March 2023 at the latest as the final numbers of participating students will be confirmed on this date.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Kind regards,
Year 2 teachers
