For five weeks in Term 4 (October/November), Year 8 students from Malvern Central School relocated their classroom to Melbourne's CBD, learning about the history and the happenings of the city through first-hand experience.

During this time students experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to discover things about their beloved city they never knew before. Students became more independent, resourceful, and walked away with memories to last them a lifetime. A knowledge of the city and public transport became second nature to them as they spent most of their term in the midst of a hustling, bustling city.

Students enjoyed amongst other things a unique and open space where they managed their own time, experienced independence and undertook a more relaxed school environment. Blogging, creating a wiki and submitting timeline entries were all part of the experience.

Students chose an aspect of Melbourne to research over the five-week period. To see the topics that these brilliant students studied browse the individual topics to the right.
