Level Two Excursion to the Iconic MCG – A Day to Remember!
On Monday, 16th November, our excited Level Two students had the incredible opportunity to visit the iconic MCG! This excursion allowed students to expand their understanding of the Inquiry topic, 'What do places mean to us?'.
During the visit, students were treated to a behind-the-scenes tour, where they explored key areas of the MCG. They even got the chance to step onto the hallowed turf, take a turn behind the microphones in the media room, and dip their hands in the players’ ice bath! The adventure continued at the Australian Sports Museum, where the Game On interactive experience was a highlight for many..jpg)
