With curriculum time getting busier and busier, a great way to inspire and empower students is before and after school with extracurricular programs for students. Our after school programs are fantastic at doing this and allow us to get students thinking big and focussing on cross-curricular, project-based learning as they tackle challenges, build skills and work on projects that get them thinking about the world around them and the exciting opportunities open to their generation.
With everything from designing future cities to launching influencer brands, building businesses, working with technology and more, we have a range of standard programs to choose from, or we're able to customise a program to your school community. Our after school programs typically run for 6-8 weeks and cost $30 per student per week.
Business Builders
Bringing Our Business Ideas To Life!
Program Description
Have you ever had an idea for a business? Did you ever think you might be able to actually bring this idea to life? Our Business Builders program is designed to show young people how they can build and create their launch strategy for their very own business idea.
As part of our Business Builders program, we will be working with students to help them follow their interests and grow their ideas into a tangible product or service, giving them a way to bring their ideas to life, whilst also making money doing so.
Throughout the program, students will first look at some of their favourite brands to learn about how these businesses make money and how they built their brands, before then using their newfound knowledge to build their own business around a topic that they are passionate about.
In our Business Builders program, students learn what it takes to design, create, and build their own business. Our young people work with an expert team of facilitators and will be challenged to prototype their own product or service. They will take the time to understand the business basics before then building their business strategy, ready to launch!

Throughout the program, students will be developing a diverse range of skills. The key themes of this program centre around:
