City Experience – Local Scavenger Hunt

Students will complete a series of tasks as they walk through the local area. Starting at Heathmont College students will walk to HE Parker Reserve completing a series of tasks around the Dandenong Creek Trail and then onto Heathmont Station, also completing a series of tasks en route. Students will then catch a train to Ringwood Station where they will complete a series of tasks in the Ringwood area.
This will support students in their understanding of the skills required on these excursions for future trips into the city. These skills include things like teamwork, cooperative decision making, use of Google maps, safety in public areas, public transport use and many others. Also, students will learn about their local environment, both man made and natural, and investigate the culture of the area.

Students are allowed to use their mobile phones for navigation purposes and to take photos for tasks on the scavenger hunt.

Students will have the opportunity to purchase food/drink (with their own money) during this excursion.

Students will need their own Myki card to catch the train from Heathmont Station to Ringwood Station.

Students will be dismissed from Ringwood Town Square at approximately 3:00pm.
