Year 8s in Chinatown

Year 8 visit to Chinatown

Year 8 Chinese students recently put their learning in action with a trip to Melbourne's Chinatown.

The well-preserved heritage streetscape  gave the students an opportunity to explore the area's rich history and development.

Our students read the narratives about its past and performed a scavenger hunt for Chinese relics and landmarks. Through this experience, they worked in teams to deduce clues, navigate themselves, interact with Chinese speakers and overcome challenges. There were fascinating missions which they had to complete, applying their Chinese language and skills, such as distinguishing simplified characters and traditional characters, finding service providers that offer Chinese services and discovering posters for the latest Chinese movies.
