Q9

Is Melbourne the world’s most liveable city?

All the year 9s participated in Q9 over the first and second week of Term 3. Students were organised into groups of four or five and were encouraged to research the most liveable cities in the world.

They discovered that Melbourne had been voted the world’s most liveable city for the sixth year in a row.  Classes  then ventured into the city to explore Melbourne as the World’s Most Liveable City. The first day was a visit to the State Library to learn about Melbourne’s history and then to the Big Issue magazine office to learn about homelessness and how selling magazines provides homeless people with  jobs.

The second day, students completed a program called Hoddle Waddle where the students had to navigate their way around the city and find certain landmarks using clues.

After the two day excursion to the city everyone came back to school and got back to work, creating  presentations on the question, “Is Melbourne the world’s most liveable city?” On the final day we presented to our teacher and class. Overall,  the city excursions were fun and learning about Melbourne as a city was quite interesting.
