Amazing Race

It was 11W’s turn to participate in the “Amazing Race”.

 VCAL Personal Development students recently spent a day in the Melbourne CBD participating in an “AMAZING RACE” and completing a mapping task. The students were required to navigate their way around the CBD by walking or utilising the free tram zone to find sites outlined on the clue sheet. 

The race required students to collaborate with group members and problem solve to outline the quickest and most time efficient route to get to each landmark. This was an opportunity for students to implement their leadership skills which has been a major focus in class to date.

Many students discovered places they had never seen before and it’s fair to say that their navigation skills were challenged with a few students needing to call Ms Gray for some verbal directions to get to the designated meeting spot. It was good to see students using their initiative to solve their dilemma of being a little off track.

A wonderful day was had by all students and staff. A big thank you to the students for upholding the school values whilst out in the community.

Thank you to Mel Georgopoulos for supporting us on this VCAL excursion.
