On 27th February 2020, ELICOS and Childcare students gathered for an excursion to Cockatoo Island – one of the best attractions in Sydney. The students took a ferry ride from Barangaroo and enjoyed Sydney skyline along the way. Being known as a historically significant place, Cockatoo Island offers UPC students an opportunity to explore the Australian convict and maritime history as well as delighting in great view of the city. During the visit, students used audio tour kits to enhance their experience with each stop such as Convict Precinct (Convict Courtyard, Isolation Cells, Military Guardhouse, Convict Silos); Ship Design Precinct; Historic Residence Precinct; and Industrial Precinct. It was so much fun going in a group discovering the island on that day!
