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.
Youth Advisory
Getting An Authentic Youth Perspective As You Plan For The Future
As you plan for the year ahead and make decisions around school culture, student events, specialist programs, and curriculum redesign, it's essential that you engage your users in that decision-making process.
To do this, we have developed a selection of Youth Advisory Workshops that have been designed to source an authentic youth perspective from the students in your school community, whilst also giving young people the opportunity to develop and share their own impactful solutions to the projects presented to them.
Facilitated by the BOP team with a selection of students in your school community, these workshops see our team working with students to find out more about their thoughts on the way things are currently done, before then taking a design thinking approach to help students create innovative and impactful solutions for your team to implement.
At the conclusion of each session, the BOP team collate the ideas and insights shared by students and use these to produce a report for your team to review and implement.
