Our Focus
Student Experience
We provide enriching experiences for our students.
SCIENCE
We use science as a tool to help our students understand the world around us, with our current focus being on environmental sciences, in topics such as food waste, global warming, climate change and plastic waste. Our students and mentors work through science and other STEM subject areas in our programs.
TECHNOLOGY
One of the main topics that we educate our students in is technology. We do this through coding, robotics, artificial intelligence and so much more. Technology is embedded in many of our programs, such as FIRST Lego League, The IBM AI Project and our app development project for Kingston Council, and we hope to continue teaching through technology as it is an extremely important skill for future generations.
ENGINEERING
Engineering is a vital concept that kids need to understand to combat real-world scenarios. The focus on core elements of Engineering in the day-to-day tasks and the projects is something kids have to be aware of and we focus on bringing value. FIRST Lego League, amongst many other programs, entails engineering, as participants are required to use their skills to construct a suitable robot and accessories, corresponding with the missions it needs to complete.
MATHEMATICS
We teach mathematics both directly, and indirectly, by educating students in mathematical concepts, and through problem-solving in a multitude of activities. In 2021, the students partook in the Australian Mathematics Competition, which is a competitive mathematics examination held annually, giving the participants a ranking of how they stand against their peers. With extensive coaching given by our mentors, the participants achieved remarkable scores.
