Sub Programs

Successful 2024 programs ran at Urban College

Photography Workshop

Over a five-week period, students were taught elements of photography using DSLR cameras purchased by Urban College.

Each week there was a theory component where the photography teacher used visual notes and pictures to explain the content, followed by a practical component where students manually adjusted their camera settings to focus on the specific element we were teaching.

Students were then invited on an excursion to The Dandenong Ranges Botanical Garden where they produced some amazing work for their exhibition which was held on our Information Night.

Drivers Education

Students were taken on an excursion to METEC Driving School where they were taught how to drive either a Manual or Automatic car. The instructors were very professional and allowed students that did not have their Learners permit to get behind the wheel and drive for the first time. Some of the students sat for their Learners permit while waiting to drive.

Cooking Program

Each week groups of students researched a recipe and used their numerical and organisational skills to determine quantities needed to purchase the correct amount of ingredients to cater for all staff and students.

Gaming Program

This was a weekly program that took place at lunch time. Students were given the opportunity to play a variety of video games they selected.

Students were able to game and socialise with other students from the College while participating in mini tournaments where they competed against each other.
