Year 9 Rite Journey City Experience

Year 9 students were fortunate to have two amazing ‘camp days’ exploring an array of wonderful landmarks within the Melbourne CBD as part of their Rite Journey program. The program aimed to promote independence and communication amongst the students as they made their way around the CBD using trains and trams whilst participating in ‘The Amazing Race’. 

Students had the opportunity to be taken on an MCG tour where they met a former Olympian, explored the famous Victorian Markets, walked to the Shrine of Remembrance as well as participated in an Indigenous walking tour. 

In order to prepare the students for their exploration of the city, a school visit by the Victorian Police Educational division occurred at our College, highlighting how to remain safe in the city as well as identifying people who could assist them if the need arose.
