1. A group project for stage 4.

2. Students have been given the following real life
scenario:
“You are a travel agency and have been
approached by a couple wanting an Australian
adventure. They wish to go on a 2 week
holiday around the country sightseeing. The
couple has given you a budget of $5000.”

3. Students are required to research and plan a
sightseeing adventure for the couple,
containing some of the well known and not so
well known landmarks of Australia. This will be
done in groups. They will be given three
lessons to plan and prepare the holiday. In a
fourth lesson, each group will then present
their holiday activities to the couple (judging
panel).

4. Things students might like to consider:
Costs such as accommodation, fuel, airfares and
any other necessary factors affecting the price
of the holiday.
The sights the couple will see and the timing of
the holiday.
The season the couple are travelling in.
The age of the couple travelling (can be
assumed).

5. So students don’t do things too simply or go
over board some restrictions that can be put
in place are:
3-5 modes of transport must be used
The couple must visit 3-8 locations on their
holiday
Etc.

6. Tangible Outcomes
Each group is to have an itinerary to present to
the couple (judges). This will include the
timing of the holiday, the locations visited, the
price and any optional activities.
A slideshow presentation or website which can
be viewed by the couple is also required of the
agencies (groups). This will contain the
information and features of each location or
activity entailed in the holiday.
