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.
Showcasing The Next Generation Of Young Innovators, Entrepreneurs, Leaders And Educators From Across Western Australia!
The Next Gen Western Australia Showcase Event has been designed as an opportunity to recognise the young people and educators from across WA working to develop their skills, bring their ideas to life, and get a headstart on their chosen pathway.
