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.

The Young Leader Of The Year award will go to a student who has made a significant impact in their local community through the development of their leadership abilities.
A young leader is someone who displays strong leadership qualities and has a vision for the change they hope to make in their community. They possess a high level of motivation and enthusiasm to achieve their goals, and they are willing to take risks to achieve them.
Young leaders are open-minded and willing to listen to others, valuing diverse perspectives and opinions.
Young leaders aim to inspire and motivate others, leading by example and setting high standards for themselves and their team. They are excellent communicators, able to articulate their vision and inspire others to work towards achieving it. Most importantly, a young leader is adaptable and resilient, able to navigate challenges and setbacks with grace and determination. They are always learning and growing, seeking out opportunities to improve themselves and their skills.
Whether you're working to make a change around your community, leading an advocacy initiative around your school or organising a fundraising campaign, this is the award category for you!
