Year 5 Eureka Gold Rush Excursion

Published 21 May 2026

Our Year 5 students attended the ‘Eureka Gold Rush’ excursion in Belivah. This is part of our HASS units relating to life and changes in early Australian colonies. To enhance the student’s insight and enjoyment into colonial life, students have been given the opportunity to dress up as a character from this era. Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed the excursion and dress up.
