Malaysia BBC Earth School Challenge 2017 winners embark on an educational trip to Melbourne, Victoria
As a reward for winning the Malaysia BBC Earth School Challenge 2017, the students and their teacher advisor from SMK Convent Bukit Nanas were whisked off on an educational trip to Melbourne, Victoria. The winning team were treated to a specially created itinerary chock-full of activities that showcased the depth and diversity of Victoria. Known as the world’s most liveable city, Melbourne oozes a laidback vibe and is a creative cosmopolitan that offers colourful street art, a rich coffee culture and a labyrinth of hidden laneways and arcades. Starting with an introduction to the city, the winning team got to embark on a guided city tour that covered major historical landmarks which included the Fitzroy Gardens, St Patrick’s Cathedral, Shrine of Remembrance, and Hosier & ACDC Laneways. During the tour, the students were treated to interesting stories about the city and were enlightened about the historical past of the important monuments and landmarks.
