GRADE 5 CAMP 2015 - Heany Park Primary School
GRADE 5 CAMP 2015 We are heading to camp at Sovereign Hill in July. This is some information about the enjoyable camp: Heany Park staff will be in attendance along with some Dads. The estimated cost for our camp is between $260.00 and $280.00 per student. The final cost can only be determined once we have the definite numbers of students attending. Therefore we require a $50.00 deposit to indicate each student’s intention to attend. This deposit is due by the 1st May, 2015 and will be deducted from the final cost of the camp. Please be advised that this is a non-refundable deposit.

EDUCATION SESSIONS Students will join the “rush” to One Eye Gully and through role play re-live the highs and lows of gold fever and trials and tribulations that built up to the Eureka stockade. We will explore the stories and reasons behind people migrating to the gold rush and discover the legacies that were left. RED HILL MINE TOUR Students will take a walk through the Red Hill Mine and while listening to the story behind the discovery of the Welcome Stranger, gain a sense of feeling as to what life would be like working in a mine. DEMONSTRATIONS Students will witness the making of the well-known raspberry drops and dipping of candles. The popular Gold Smelting demonstration will finish our visit to Sovereign Hill.
