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.

Innovative Educator Of The Year
Level Of Achievement:
National Award Winner 2023
Michelle leads a highly successful in-house entrepreneurial STEM-based Program for Year 10 students called i3 (interdisciplinary intelligence and innovation). The program is in its 6th year, and has had over 1100 students undertake it with nearly 500 industry mentors, guest speakers and judges volunteer so far.
i3 is built on a foundation of partnerships and relationships with over 50 different industry partners. These industry connections underpin the program making it the success that it is. Michelle was inspired to develop a new program after an elective called “Creating Apps” took her to Silicon Valley with a small group of students. It was a key trigger in developing a compulsory program and bringing cutting edge STEM leaders and industry into her school.
Michelle's vision extends beyond the immediate success of the program. She aspires to create a comprehensive system that will have a positive and enduring impact on future generations. This system aims to seamlessly support students as they transition from school to further education and ultimately into the workplace, equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need for a successful future.
