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.

About The Program
Our Community Leaders program has been designed to show students how they can develop impactful initiatives to solve a challenge that they have identified in their local community.
Whether it’s a vibrant youth space to upskill young people, an app to incentivise people to pick up rubbish, or a workshop to teacher people how to upcycle their clothing, our community leaders program has been designed to show students how they can make a difference in their community in some fun and creative ways.
By utilising the principles of design thinking, students embark on a series of activities that enable them to develop a deep understanding of the challenges facing diverse communities worldwide. Throughout the workshop students will be working through a fast-paced design sprint as they form teams, identify a problem to solve, develop an understanding of their users, research solutions around the world, and create an impactful solution localised to their community and their users. At the conclusion of the program students will be pitching their finalised ideas.
This program has been designed for passionate young leaders looking for tangible strategies to make an impact in their local community.
