Ethics and Philosophy

What makes something fair? Should we always follow the rules? Do our intentions matter more than our actions? And how can people with different opinions live and learn together? In this engaging course, students will explore some of life's biggest questions through stories, discussion, games and hands-on ethical challenges. Inspired by the ideas of great philosophers, children will investigate fairness, rights, responsibilities, kindness, boundaries and decision-making while learning to consider different perspectives and justify their thinking. Through philosophical inquiry, collaborative activities and real-world scenarios, students will develop the confidence to think independently, communicate respectfully and make thoughtful choices about the world around them. Along the way, they will discover that ethical thinking is not about finding one correct answer, but about asking meaningful questions, listening to others and reflecting on what matters most.

Fangs, Fur and Feathers: The Science of Animal Adaptations

In this course, Young scientists are invited to explore the remarkable world of animals. Moving beyond introductory facts, students will investigate how evolution has shaped animal adaptations, behaviours and relationships with their habitats. From the protective armour of reptiles to Australia’s distinctive monotremes, they will examine how specialised traits help animals survive and thrive. Through hands-on investigations, close observation, classification and creative problem-solving, students will learn to ask scientific questions, evaluate evidence and communicate their findings. This course develops scientific inquiry and critical-thinking skills while inspiring a deeper appreciation of biodiversity and the natural world.

The Rules of the Game: How The Law Shapes Our World

Have you ever wondered who makes the rules or what happens when people break them? The legal system plays a crucial role in keeping our communities safe and fair. Throughout this course, students will be exposed to the fascinating concepts that form the invisible glue of our society.

Students will look at how laws are made, the role of the police, and what goes on inside a real courtroom. We will investigate famous and bizarre legal cases that changed the course of history, and learn how court decisions affect our everyday lives at school, in the shops, and on the street.

Who decides if someone is guilty? How do lawyers argue their side? What makes a good law?

Through interactive games, activities, and lively debates, our students will discover the answers to these big questions. Throughout the term, they will dive into intriguing case studies, test their negotiation skills, and figure out how they would decide if they were the judge. By exploring how the rules work in the real world, our young thinkers will build their confidence and teamwork skills in a fun and engaging environment.

This course is designed to challenge primary school students to think outside the box and, through the lens of the law, look at their world in a whole new way. It takes complex ideas and makes them exciting, accessible, and highly relevant. Students will learn how to ask the right questions, argue persuasively, and see everyday situations from different perspectives. This course is a fantastic opportunity for curious minds to discover how the law protects us, and how we can all make a real difference in our communities.

Creative Tech: Advanced Maze Solving

How do real robots find the fastest way through a maze? Students learn the methods engineers use and put them to work on real robots. Working in teams, they program the robots to find the shortest path, pit strategies against each other and measure which performs best. They also design mazes built to defeat their classmates’ robots. Week by week, they generate mazes with real maze-building methods, debug through failure and redesign, and finish with a team challenge on a maze their robot has never seen.

In this hands-on program, students develop skills in coding, logical thinking, testing, teamwork and engineering design. Each session stands alone as a complete challenge while building on the skills from the week before.

This program is for students who relish a challenge, love testing their ideas against others and want to think like real engineers.

Amazing Bodies and Minds

What makes your brain so powerful? How do your senses help you understand the world around you? And can your eyes really play tricks on you?

In this fascinating exploration of the human body and mind, students will discover the incredible systems that help us think, learn, remember and move. Through hands-on experiments, memory challenges, optical illusions and interactive investigations, children will uncover how their brains process information, why sleep is so important, and how humans compare to the technology we create. Along the way, they will strengthen critical thinking, observation and scientific inquiry skills while developing a deeper understanding of themselves and the amazing capabilities of the human body.

Mission: Planet Earth

Calling all young explorers! Prepare for an unforgettable adventure as we journey across our extraordinary planet in Mission: Planet Earth! From erupting volcanoes and powerful earthquakes to wild weather and the mysteries beneath Earth's surface, students will discover the incredible natural forces that shape our world.

Throughout this exciting eight-week course, students will become scientists, explorers and engineers as they investigate Earth's most fascinating phenomena. Through interactive learning, hands-on experiments and creative STEM projects, students will build erupting volcanoes, design earthquake-resistant structures, explore the water cycle and much more! Combining scientific discovery with imaginative arts and crafts, this course inspires curiosity, teamwork and problem-solving while encouraging young learners to better understand and appreciate the amazing planet we call home.
