9BB Enjoy the Civic Project

It was wonderful to see my Connections group 9BB embrace all the amazing places of our city of Melbourne. Working in groups, students researched different values and surveyed members of the public.

It was wonderful to see my Connections group embrace all the amazing places of our city of Melbourne. Working in groups, students researched different values and surveyed members of the public. Mr. May organised some wonderful excursions to a homeless shelter, the State Library, Koorie Education Centre and and environmental park called C.E.R.E.S. My students learnt to navigate their way around the city and investigated the markets, city squares and historical places. Once back at school my form group devised a proposal of how they could better the community through the use of our school values. They presented these proposals to a class of Year 7 students. I was very proud of how my form group devised such a broad range of exciting ideas. Our experience together in the city helped us to appreciate Melbourne in a new way. Thanks Mr. May for providing this unique experience.
