 * Josh's reflection:**

We had the chance this term to have the possibility to experience one of the best terms in our schooling lives. We have happily managed the transport system, gained independence and learnt many informative things about Melbourne.

My knowledge has now grown vastly about the city and its landmarks. I've learnt so much from the excursions we have been on and the websites we've been able to access since we've been in the CBD. I have gained an extraordinary amount of indepence from having to navigate my way to and from the city each day and with the trust we received from our teachers out at lunch. I now feel much more comfortable in the city and much more at ease when trying to locate things in the CBD. I've benefited greatly from my time in the city and have loved working with my partners Andrew and Charlie. Being in a classroom doesn't stack up compared to being in here, especially whilst in the city we've had the chance to do things that we could never do while sitting in the Secondary Wing, like going to an open session of Parliament.

I strongly believe now that I won't just remember the big things of Melbourne, but all the little arcades, streets and places that define it. It has been an absolute wonderful experience in the CBD and will stick with me forever. I would recommend this program to anyone and hope they would have as much of a good time like i did.


 * Andrew's reflection:**

Since the day I was told about the CBD I have been really looking forward to it. The experience has taught me so much more about the city of Melbourne. I have learned so much more about the Royal Exhibition Building. In the past I have walked by and wondered what is the purpose of such a magnificent building and how does it serve Melbourne? I have visited buildings that I didn’t even know existed; such as the City Baths or the Immigration Museum. Another thing I learned is about the streets of Melbourne. I never expected to know all the streets at this age. I learned plenty more from all the excursions I went on. Some examples of this would be the Old Melbourne Gaol, the Royal Botanic Gardens or the State Library of Victoria. I really enjoyed the CBD experience and it has convinced me to go to the city a lot more often.


 * Charlie's reflection:**

In this years CBD I had a an absolute ball and I would do it again in a instance. It has been really benifical for me not just academicly, but it has made me more independant and provided the tools for me to feel comfortable to go into the city my my self and spend a whole day exploring and having fun.

I believe the CBD program has helped inprove the speed of my typing, it has inproved my writing and reasearch skills, it has opened my eyes to the city and what it has to offer through the countless excurtions and vists I have been on and It has made me more confident to go out and do something new.

During the CBD my group Josh, Andrew and I, have worked well and we have been able to accomplish a great website which has turned out rather amazing if I don't say so my self

If I had the chance to go into the CBD again, I would do it 99 times out of 100. It's an amazing experience that everyone should have the privilage of enjoying. I would like to thank all the people responsable for making this truely unforgetful experience posible and I would especially like to thank are three main teachers Mr Ebert, Amanda and Ms Cutler for their hardwork and commendable effort.
