Outlearning - Grade 11 - Tue 22nd October
Exploring different services and businesses that students might need to engage with was one of the main reasons for our CBD walk along with looking out for any possible LTI opportunities.
Here is part of a reflection on our outing from Tom:
“Today, we walked with the advisory around the CBD. First, we went to Service Tas and we found out what things they offer. I learned that they offer lots of services like ID, Drivers Licence, Working with Vulnerable People, MPES fines, vehicle registrations, fishing information and personal information cards. We also saw that a Justice of the Peace is in that building and I learned that they can sign legal documents.
After leaving Service Tas we went to Launceston City Council and I learned that you can recycle lots of items there such as glasses, electronic devices, batteries and other electronic things. I also learned that that they approve things like building contracts.
Next, we walked to City Park and then to the new University building. It looked amazing and it smelled new. We wanted to go inside and have look but we didn’t because it was closed.”
