The Cre8ive process NICOLE ROACHE, MARKETING MANAGER
Ad Astra spoke to four students about their projects, where their ideas came from, who helped them and what the experience taught them, and as you will see they certainly created something rather special. During Term 3, Year 8 students undertake a self-directed passion project outside of school time, designed to help them identify and follow their passions, and to learn about project planning and time management. They also learn about trying and failing, and how this develops better ideas, as well as resilience. When the projects come to school for an exhibition there is everything from olive oil to dog houses, pool tables and souped-up lawnmowers, showing the creativity and confidence of our young people.
