Finishing our city adventures with the MCG was an absolute treat. The tour of the stadium, MCC members' area, corporate boxes, team locker rooms, media space, and cricket training nets was something to remember. The MCG museum was also incredible, with many interactive opportunities and memorabilia to admire. We were fortunate to listen to a speech from Olympic taekwondo athlete Stacey Hymer, who shared the highs and lows of her incredible career. We will certainly be looking out for her at the next Olympics! After a long walk back to accommodation, students now have all their belongings and are heading home on the train as we speak. With tired, exhausted bodies and feet, but hopefully memories to last a lifetime.

Another busy day exploring the city. We began with a shopping trip to the Queen Victoria Market, where the students enjoyed spending their money on a variety of things. They then headed to the IMAX theatre to watch a documentary about Australia - the screen alone was impressive enough! We concluded our outing with one of our most interesting activities, a tour of the Old Melbourne Gaol, where students were engaged and asked lots of interesting questions. We still can’t believe how lucky we have been with the weather! We finished our day with some relaxation time at our accommodation, hot chocolates, and a movie.

Check out our daredevils experiencing the Edge at Eureka Skydeck

18/05/2026

A visit to the Eureka Sky deck highlighted the evening, with students treated to 6D virtual pods showcasing an immersive tour of Melbourne. Following this, a high-speed elevator whisked everyone to the top of the Eureka building, boasting spectacular views, and for the more fearless, the Edge experience offered an exhilarating extension three metres out from the building in a glass box.

Today we had the pleasure of watching the incredible Melbourne Symphony Orchestra perform at Hamer Hall. Special thanks to Mrs Dawson for finding a way to offer this experience to all of our 3-6 students at a subsidised price.

Thank you to our wonderful students, mums, grandparents and special friends for joining us this morning to celebrate Mother’s Day. Despite the cold wet weather, it was lovely to see everyone enjoying a donut, coffee or tea together.

A wonderful way to start the day and celebrate the amazing mums and special people in our community.
