Rosie's Reflection The CBD program has probably been one of my favourite school experiences. I have learnt so much about Melbourne and even about myself. I grew as a person, and gained so much independence. I loved the freedom given to us and all the experiences that came with it. Being able to go out almost everyday was great too, and my favourite excursions were to the Eureka Skydeck, Botanic Gardens, Old Melbourne Gaol, and our mini excursion to some of the many laneways in Melbourne. I loved the Edge experience at the Eureka Tower. Being so high up was amazing. The view was incredible, and it helped me better understand the layout of Melbourne. At both the Botanic Gardens and the Old Melbourne Gaol I learnt much, but also really enjoyed the activities. I was touched by our tour guide's story of his childhood as an Aborigine at the Botanic Gardens. The history of the Old Melbourne gaol also touched me, but in a different way. I was shocked by the conditions that prisoners were kept in in the 1800's and 1900's. Learning about laneways and seeing them first hand was breathtaking. The graffiti in some of them was unbelievably good. Learning about attractions and tourism in Melbourne was an experience in itself. I learnt so much about the places we focused on, and even more on my individual pages. Overall I learned a lot about Melbourne. I want to thank all the teachers who gave up their time to come into the city and provide us with these amazing opportunities. I loved the CBD program and would love to do it again. At the start I was unsure of the new territory, but now I miss being in the city.
