DiscoverEd Program ReWilding

The foundation of our Middle School environment is rooted in the Anglican ethos and a deep sense of care and connection between teachers and students. Our academic program is designed to be engaging, rigorous, and diverse, preparing our students to become competent and selfreliant problem-solvers in the 21st century.

Our DiscoverEd program is a holistic initiative that aims to develop character, competencies, and life skills in our students. Through a project-based learning approach, our students are encouraged to engage in an extended inquiry process that tackles complex questions, problems, or challenges facing our community. The program is aligned with the six Round Square ideals and emphasises a service-based approach that allows our students to use their gifts for the benefit of others in the wider community.

As a Round Square member school, we have the opportunity to collaborate with like minded schools in 50 countries worldwide, allowing our students to make an impact on the local, national, and global community.

Through the DiscoverEd program, our students have the opportunity to explore their personal interests and strengths while aligning with the Round Square ideals of Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership, and Service.

We are proud to offer a wide range of projects as part of our DiscoverEd program, designed to develop character, life skills and competencies in our Middle School students.

Some of our projects include: Project Be Kind, Walk in Your Shoes, Bee Friend Your Garden - Designing a Better World for the Pollinators, ReWilding (pictured), Robotics TV Training, Project Empathy, Arts of the World, and No Waste Meal Project. Each project is designed to encourage our students to explore, create and take action in a meaningful way, making a positive impact on their community and the wider world.
