Day 2 Legal Studies Excursion Sydney

"Our final day in Sydney began bright and early with breakfast at the hostel before setting off for another packed day of learning and exploration. Of course, no excursion morning would be complete without a second round of snacks on the way to our first destination!

We spent the morning at the Downing Centre as part of the Law Day Out program with the Rule of Law organisation. A highlight was meeting Minister Jihad Dibb, who spoke with us about how legislation is passed through Parliament and the important role the court system plays within Australian democracy. We then had the opportunity to observe courts in session, allowing us to see the law in action and connect our classroom learning with real world experiences.

After a quick lunch stop at Martin Place, we made our way to NSW Parliament House, where we were fortunate enough to witness legislation being read into Parliament for the second time. This was a fantastic opportunity to see another part of the democratic process firsthand.

We were also privileged to meet with our local Member of Parliament, Janelle Saffin, who generously gave her time to speak with us about issues affecting our electorate. Students asked thoughtful questions, shared their perspectives and discussed what matters most to young people in our region. A huge thank you to Janelle and our wonderful Parliament House guide for helping make this experience so memorable.

As we make our way home, there has been plenty of time to reflect on what has been an incredible two days. From courts and Parliament to ferry rides, city lights, Korean BBQ, cultural experiences and countless kilometres of walking, the excursion was packed with opportunities to learn beyond the classroom.
It was most certainly an incredible trip, full of culture, learning and lots of laughter!

We return home tired but with many great memories, new experiences and a deeper understanding of how our legal and political systems work in practice."

Student experiences:

“I loved walking around Vivid, talking with that guy in parliament, eating at butchers buffet and exploring China town and the museum.”

“I loved the whole experience whether it came to seeing Sydney for all its glory whilst VIVID was on, or when I got to see live courts in session and so much more!”

“I loved seeing all the old buildings and churches and sitting in on parliament”

“I learned that the age an Australia citizen can get sentenced as an adult is 10 and in general more about the parliament”

“I loved the all you can eat Korean barbecue”

“I loved the 24 kilometres walking through the city”

Sydney Excursion - Vivid Sydney by Night

"After a busy first day, we continued our Sydney adventure with an evening of exploring some of the city’s most iconic sights and experiences. By the end of the day, we had walked an impressive 17 kilometres, taking in the atmosphere and energy of Sydney.
Dinner was at an all you can eat Korean BBQ, where the 90 minute time limit was viewed by some as more of a challenge than a restriction! There was plenty of food, laughter and friendly competition as everyone made the most of the experience.

As night fell, we explored the city and enjoyed the spectacular lights that transformed the streets and skyline. One unexpected highlight was finding a DJ playing music in a city park, where many of us joined in and enjoyed a dance.
We then caught the ferry from Barangaroo to Circular Quay, with the views from the water proving to be a real highlight of the evening. The city lights reflecting across the harbour, along with views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, were simply spectacular.
After such a big day, and despite having already enjoyed a feast at dinner, it was decided that another late night snack was needed. A quick McDonald’s stop provided some extra fuel before we headed back to the hostel to rest our weary feet and prepare for another exciting day of learning, culture and adventure tomorrow."

Excursion Update: Day 1 Exploring Sydney

"A quick ride on the train and we trotted down the hill to our accommodation in Woolloomooloo before heading off to explore some of what Sydney has to offer.
Even the rain couldn’t keep us from enjoying the Botanical garden, although finding a sheltered spot to view the opera house and harbour bridge was welcomed.
Time for a quick rest before we head to China Town for dinner and a walk around the harbour to see the Vivid light show."

Senior Big Picture - Kingscliff High School and Murwillumbah HS Collaboration

Last Thursday, Year 11 and 12 Big Picture Design for Learning students from Murwillumbah High School and Kingscliff High School came together in A Block at Murwillumbah High School to connect, collaborate and share their learning journeys.
The day began with a variety of games and activities designed to build energy, communication and understanding of shared interests and similarities across both schools. Students then formed smaller groups based around passions and interests, discussing how learning can happen in the real world through internships, mentors and opportunities.

A highlight of the day was a 30-minute presentation from Harrison G, who shared his outlearning journey through the surfboard shaping industry. Harrison spoke honestly about the highlights and challenges of building connections within the industry, and the personal qualities- including curiosity, persistence and vulnerability- that have enabled him to develop a range of life-changing internships and mentoring relationships.
To finish the day, students shared learning they are currently proud of or working hard on, while giving each other feedback, ideas and encouragement. It was a fantastic three hours, with students building new connections, sharing experiences and creating things they can action as they continue their senior years learning through the International Big Picture Credential.
