By Mr Brendan Jackson Learning & Teaching Leader: Curriculum Innovation

During Semester Two, our Year 9 students as part of their studies in Project 9 completed four City Experience Excursions. The first day focuses on how Crime, Politics and Education have shaped the Melbourne CBD, with students visiting the Old Melbourne Gaol, Old Treasury Building or Parliament House and the Melbourne Museum. The second of these days has students examine the influence of Asian and Indigenous Culture on the city through a visit to the Chinese History Museum, completion of a Tai Chi session, visit to Birrarung Marr and exploration of indigenous artwork at the Ian Potter Centre. For the third of the city experience excursions, students spend time during Project 9 classes planning a day in the city, exploring some of the different cultures of Melbourne and learn how to navigate into and around the city. The final day students demonstrate their knowledge learned through the program by completing an Amazing Race around the city within a set time period. Congratulations to all Year 9 students for their attendance and efforts as part of this program in 2022.
