__//Varun's Reflection//__ The CBD Programme has been one of the best things that have happened to me at Malvern Central School. I have enjoyed a lot of things, but the experience will go a long way in my education and growth.

Having recently moved from New Zealand, I was very scared of travelling on my own in a big city like Melbourne. At first I was very scared of going alone on the train and always wanted to co-ordinate with some friends. After a few days I was not so worried about missing the train, because I could always catch the next one and reach the centre on my own. This has really been a big boost to my confidence and familiarity with the city.

Excursions and mini excursions were another good thing about the CBD project. We had a lot of fun and also learned a great deal. Eureka Tower, the Parliament house, the Big Issue, the State library and the Royal Botanic Gardens are only some of the places which I enjoyed visiting. Friday was the best day as we got to leave the University early to go to the City Baths. It was the best way to finish the week. I almost missed the last day at the city baths when I forgot to take my bathers; luckily my Dad was able to drop them off.

I had a good team to work with; this is a very important aspect for the success of any project.

Working on the Wikispaces has been exciting. I got to work on the top 10 picks and this has given me an understanding that you do not need to spend too much money to enjoy our beautiful city of Melbourne. Once we had decided on the attractions, I could have //organized them in lots of ways but they all involved personal choices, so I decided to put them in alphabetical order. //

//My personal favourite is “The Shrine of Remembrance”. This is a //memorial to all Australians who served and died in armed conflicts and peacekeeping duties. Due to limited time and space, I have provided brief introductions to our top 10 picks in the wiki. However I have provided links to other pages which will explain these in detail. 

All in all, CBD was the best thing to have happened at Malvern Central School and I would also like to thank the school and all my teachers for making CBD a very enjoyable experience for me.
