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
The retail industry is evolving faster than ever, with shifting consumer behaviours, emerging technologies, and global trends reshaping how we shop, sell, and connect. In the Future of Retail program, students will take on the role of retail innovators, working in teams to reinvent a well-known retail brand for the next generation of consumers. From designing immersive store experiences to crafting engaging online platforms and compelling marketing strategies, students will explore how retailers can stay relevant and competitive in an increasingly digital and experience-driven economy.
Throughout the workshop, students will explore the future of the customer journey by diving into key areas such as user centred design, sustainability, and emerging tech like augmented reality and AI. They’ll analyse real-world case studies, investigate market trends, and explore how brands are innovating across both physical and digital spaces. With a focus on creativity and strategic thinking, students will develop and pitch their own retail concepts designed to engage modern consumers and respond to industry challenges.
