AUT Live 2018
This was an open day for people who are uncertain about what they want to do when they leave high school and the range of things that are going to be available for them, it was great fun and educational, the whole day was helpful to me because it helped me look in the direction I want to go. When we came to school Tapu one of the AUT members handed all of us an AUT t-shirt that we were going to wear the whole day so we could be recognized by the staff at AUT. Our trip started with us going to AUT Manukau and picking up students from other schools, when we reached the campus we had a whole day planned for us.
The session started with us getting into our color groups which meant each one of our schools had to split up into different groups so that we can get to know each other better and aren't strangers to each other, than we had group activities which each group had to complete, it started with going around campus and taking pictures of the locations that were given and specified and this also included a tour and brief of the campus of where what is, when the activities were completed we went back to the open area where we began our session. We then had the challenge to come up with a chant that is 20 seconds long for your group.
We then got an opportunity to explore the campus which was located in different places, the first place me and my new friends went was the food science which was where we made ice-cream and ginger beer, we also made freeze-dried strawberries. After the activities, we all went to the food restaurant, the corner. The Exciting thing about the day was the food voucher we had been given by the AUT group members, my friends and I all bought a big feed to fill our tummies. once we were done with the food we went back to the meeting ground and had one last talk with the AUT staff members to discuss our day and how we enjoyed it.
The day for me was an awesome and amazing learning experience for me and maybe for some of my friends cause I know I might want to go to AUT.
