MyFuture: Doncaster Police Station Excursion

On Wednesday, 11 September, Ms Chiuchiarelli’s MyFuture class went on a day’s excursion to the Doncaster Police station. The students of that class were able to plan and organise this excursion and chose the police station because it is a possible career option for some people.

When they got to the station, they were met by one of the constables from the station, and they got taken up to a room upstairs where they talked about the work that policemen and women do on a day to day basis. She explained to them what policemen and women are allowed to and not allowed to do. They got to have a look at the belt that the police force wears, as well as their bullet vest.

While they were listening to the constable talking, the station sergeant came walking into the room and started talking to the students. One student stood out, Joshua Groenewald. Josh stood out by answering the sergeant’s questions and had a conversation with him. Josh told him what school they’re from, as well as what subject they are doing, and what the purpose is for their visit to the station. The sergeant was impressed by Josh and shook his hand.

After a while of a bit more talking, the constable took the kids back downstairs and went outside to the police van. The students got to look inside the van, and see what technology is used. They also got to see and sit inside the area where criminals would be transported in.

While it may have seemed that most students were getting bored during the presentation, some students took something from the excursion that could help them for their future.
