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 Preparing Our Next Gen Learners workshop, is a professional development session for teachers looking to extend their thinking, discover the jobs of the future and uncover new tools and strategies for educating our next generation of learners. The session aims to empower educators to navigate the changing future of work and effectively equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in a dynamic world.
The session commences with a keynote speech, highlighting workforce changes, emerging industry trends, and the distinct characteristics of Gen Z and Alpha compared to previous generations. Following this, teachers will engage with a series of thought-provoking ethical scenarios to spark discussions and share insights on specific future case studies. For the practical component of the session, educators will be led through a design-thinking exercise to dive into student personas, localise global case studies, and engage in a rapid ideation activity to develop a range of innovative ideas to integrate into their classroom.
In this workshop, teachers will have the opportunity to explore innovative strategies for incorporating future-focused concepts into their teaching practices. Through hands-on activities and collaborative discussions, teachers will discover how to engage students in design-thinking practices and develop creative approaches to reimagine their units of work. By the end of the workshop, educators will leave feeling inspired and equipped with practical tools to enhance their teaching and prepare students for the ever-changing future.
