**Velyan's Reflection:** The cbd learning program augmented not only my knowledge of the researched topic but the adventure of having the freedoms, choices and the consequences prior to the future outcome. Having the opportunity to control and manage time efficiently, maybe even inefficently offered a valuable lesson that will remain one of the most important in my high school years. Also having exposure to different situations that you would not usually get in a normal school environment and the responsibilities one must take into consideration is another important insight.The freedoms we were given was an evaluation of how appropriately we would used them and if we took advantage of them.

Fred's Reflection:
The CBD learning program has been excellent in expanding my knowledge of the great city of Melbourne. I have always felt extremely privileged to live arguably the best city in the world. The CBD program has been a fantastic learning opportunity that I feel has been very successful, I have learnt a lot about not only my topic, but the great city in general, also the freedom that the CBD program has provided has improved my independence. I feel it has been really useful in setting me up for my future school years. At the beginning of the program I was not exactly sure what to expect, I have always been very fascinated by Laneways and Arcades and feel that I have been very successful in utilizing this opportunity to learn about the topic and the city as a whole. The CBD program has helped improve many areas of my schooling and life in general.

Charles' Reflection:
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time during the CBD project and promote as an excellent experience to any other school. I, being fascinated by the busy city streets and lights of Melbourne was in very good company, and always bore a smile on my face as I entered each morning down St Kilda Road. But I believe, though inevitable as it was, that the program would have been 'better' if the location was in Victoria University, because it is closer to the hub of the city and visits to my favourite areas would have been more frequent. However, as a sporting lover, studying in the studio at Etihad Stadium, where I attend for events often, was a privilledge, and something I can rave about to my friends at other schools. I am now very satisfied that I was part of the Laneways and Arcades group because it was incredibly interesting. I knew the dirty alleys contained garbage bins, and a cook during smoko on the back steps, but never about the such delights that exist throughout the city, and the many different historical references it has to offer.
