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.
School Holiday Programs
Extra Curricular Learning Experiences For Students Wanting To Bring Their Ideas To Life
1-3 Day workshops for local primary and high school students run over the course of the school holidays.
We would recommend running some off-the-shelf programs from the BOP program library with programs centred around entrepreneurship, innovation, and STEM.
These programs could either be paid for by your school, or the costs could be passed onto parents in the local community looking to book a ticket for their students.
We don’t have any products to show here right now.
Program Details
When organising to host a school holiday program, our team would plan to work with you to tailor the program and offering to suit your school community. Here are a few things to take into consideration:
Requirements
For us to host a school holiday program at your school we would ask the following:
- A classroom or space to host the program with tables and chairs for 20-30 students.
- Access to a projector for us to share slides with the students
- Students to bring their own devices (high school programs only)
- Ideally access to a wifi network for students to join (not essential)
- A space for students to eat their morning tea and lunch
- Help to promote these programs to your school community
Who It's For
All of our sessions are able to be tailored for primary and high school students. We would typically recommend running primary programs with Grade 3-6 students and high school sessions with 7-10 students. We are however happy to take direction from the hosting school.
What's Involved
A typical school holiday program would see our team taking bookings through our own site and creating a graphic and flyer for you to share with your school community.
On each day, our facilitators will arrive one hour before to the program start time to set up the space. We will set up and run the program with the students after school and then pack up after the program is finished. Our programs typically run from 9am - 3pm each day and students are asked to bring their own morning tea and lunch.
We don't typically require teacher supervision, however, if you would like to have a teacher sitting in to supervise, it is always welcome.
Our Work
School holiday programs are a big part of what we do at BOP and our team works hard to design and deliver engaging, hands-on learning experiences for students over their school holidays. Here are some of our recent holiday programs:

Let's Connect
School holiday programming is part of our bread and butter at BOP as we work to deliver fun and engaging learning experiences for students wanting to bring their ideas to life over the school holidays.
With the ability to host these programs at school or industry offices, make sure to send us a message to see how we could work with you to host a program for young people in your local community.
