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
With over 70% of employers saying that they will search for job applicants on Google or social media ahead of inviting them in for an interview, it is more important than ever that young people today are taking an active approach to curating their digital persona.
In this program, students will start by exploring the role that our digital presence plays in our future pathways, and the different activities they partake in online that create their digital footprint. From there we will be exploring examples of young people who have carefully crafted strong digital personas that align with their values, goals, and future ambitions.
After analysing examples of excellent digital personas that have been leveraged to access opportunities, students will be working through a range of hands-on activities to identify how they want to be seen online, and how they can actively enhance their digital presence.
Once we have created a plan for our digital personas, we will be looking at our digital world as we explore some of the scams, and precarious situations to be aware of when online, and what to do when things go wrong. Through team challenges, group discussions, and design sprints, students will be exercising their muscles in digital responsibility as they brainstorm practical solutions to emerging digital challenges.
This program has been designed to get students thinking about their futures as they consider how they turn up online.
