Students from the English Language Department have been to many different places in the last few weeks including Scienceworks, the Melbourne Museum, the National Gallery of Victoria and the City Library.
In March, ELICOS students explored the city for the end of term Carrick Treasure Hunt. Students had fun finding clues and discovering the city centre, and collected a prize at the end.
Late April, English for Vocational Education students toured the Shrine of Rememberance where they prepared for the ANZAC Day celebrations. Students were lucky enough to meet some soldiers and talk with them about their war experiences.
