Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: Let's talk about this one because Swann, you brought up

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: something really interesting in brand Man the other day, and

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: I'd forgotten about the old school excursion.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 3: That's how lame it was.

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 4: In the eighties, we had a school excursion to the

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 4: tip top factory.

8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Tommy, great idea. You don't do excursions as

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: parents or as adults. Could we start doing no over excursions?

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: That would be amazing and they're things that we're interested in.

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: Tommy.

12
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: Yes, you're the excursion leader.

13
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Get in the car care No, you.

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 4: Can drive the bus, turn a corner like that, and

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 4: in that moment we can harass you with you asking

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 4: for songs?

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: Are we going to throw apple cars at the back

18
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: of your head? Tommy?

19
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 5: Which is great?

20
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: I want to know thirteen twenty four ten the worst

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: school excursion possible that you went on. We threw this

22
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: out there. The beautiful answers came through. One Bug said.

23
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: We went to Port Arthur right after the massacre. We

24
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: went to a sausage factory and I was a vegetarian.

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: We went to an aquatic center. The teacher called the

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: role and we lost two people. We left them behind.

27
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: Oh we were penguins though, that'd be amazing. We left

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 4: with the penguins. Were they stick?

29
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: We went to an abattoir. Everyone cried on the way

30
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: home in the bus.

31
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: Oh no, sudden it was instant vegetarian.

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, right there, right there, and the fragrance of an

33
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 6: avatar is unbelievable. Actually, do you know what we We

34
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 6: got permission from parents, So I remember our teacher. I

35
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 6: think we were going to go to a war memorial,

36
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 6: right yep. But then for some reason, so he got

37
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 6: permission from all the parents to go. But something fell

38
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 6: through and we couldn't go to that site on the day.

39
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 6: But I remember our teacher still wanted to get out

40
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 6: of the classroom, so he took us to Southbound Gym,

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 6: which was eight hundred meters down the road from the school,

42
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 6: because he had a maid who worked there and we

43
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 6: had a tour of the gym.

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: I would take it just to get at that feeling

45
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: of getting out of school during the day.

46
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: It's like, what is this world?

47
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: Sewerage plant was one We did the gallery two fits.

48
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: But we got the bus to Canberra to go to

49
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: the National Gallery and there was a bloke in the

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: year I reckon. We would have been in grade six

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: or something. One kid turned up with a b B

52
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: gun but it was like a nine meal pistol b

53
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: B gun and shot a little plastic pellet into the

54
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Pioneer painting, which is it's famous Australian painting. Shot it

55
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: and everyone got kicked out of the gallery and we

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: were put back on the bus and sent home.

57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 6: Tell Chrissy your worst excursion at Scotch College and it

58
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 6: was Nepal.

59
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: They had to go.

60
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 7: I went up to base Camp two on the pool,

61
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 7: a school camp and pizza.

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: You went on a school excursion to Ever.

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: To Napoleon God, have a look at a mountain. But yeah,

64
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: you know the frustrating was the thing was, Chrissy. I

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: ordered the yak pizza in a town called Lukla, which

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: is quite high up in the Himalayas, and I ordered

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: the the yak pizza and they said there's a little

68
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: bit of weight on the on the meal and I went, oh,

69
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: that's okay. I can't believe we're doing pizza. Anyway, they

70
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: went out the back and they killed the yak. I

71
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: can just hear something moving out the back and bang

72
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: they cut the throat of the yak. Someone drinks the

73
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: blood and then they chop it up and put it

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: on a bit of bread. And two hours I waited

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: for my yak pizza. Yeah, the yak had waited all

76
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: its life.

77
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 7: I remember you.

78
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: Did you learn about yourself?

79
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: Then? In that?

80
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: Was it a teachable moment? It was parents were paying

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: fifty thousands.

82
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: Make sure the yak is already dead, because you don't

83
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: want to have to wait two hours for your pizza.

84
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 7: That's giving us a call.

85
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 6: And that's a school teacher that worst excursions.

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I was. I was actually at an alternate

87
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: school where it was a lot of kids that had

88
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: been basically expelled from all their other schools and put

89
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: into this educational facility so they could get their certificates

90
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: so they could go on anyway. They just imagine the

91
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: cloon tel of the of the caliber of the student, right.

92
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: And so I was actually in my final year of UNI,

93
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: so not experienced at all as teacher, and was doing

94
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: a placement there and we were all put on the

95
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: train and sent to the Powerhouse Museum at the time,

96
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: and yeah.

97
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: We stand so far. Yeah, I can't wait how this goes?

98
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then while we were at the on the train.

99
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Everything was fine because the principal was there and the

100
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: whole big group was together. But as soon as we

101
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: got to the museum, we were supposed to split off

102
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: into our small groups. And as I walked in my

103
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: group of probably eight basically juvenile delinquents, I just ran

104
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: and they took off, and I was left standing in

105
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: the foyer going, what the hell do I now? I

106
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Am not going to steal something? Are they going to

107
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: break something? Am I going to be like liable for

108
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: all of this?

109
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: Like all of the above, all of the above?

110
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: That? Yeah, yeah, I mean eventually we I had to

111
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: run and find the principal and she rounds them up,

112
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: but we Yeah, but everything was fine, but it was

113
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: one of the scariest times of my teaching life.

114
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: How good is that? Leana and line Cart, Welcome to

127
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 9: great By and they have a butterfly enclosure there, and

128
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 9: we went in there like a group. Yeah, And we

129
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 9: went in there and I couldn't see really any butterflies.

130
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 9: And then like I was looking around, I saw some

131
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 9: like really up high and just looking, you know.

132
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,760

134
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 9: butterflies just come right at me, and it just scared

135
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 9: me so much. I started crying and I had to

136
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 9: leave the enclosure. And now even to today, you know,

137
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 9: whenever I see some a butterfly or some butterflies, I

138
