Global Green
Aquinas college
Our program planning and facilitation of unique programs at Aquinas College Ringwood as part of their ‘Global Green’ project has been a resounding success since 2016.
The project is a fantastic way of providing co-curricular STEM based activities that incorporate aspects of geography, humanities, English, arts, design and technology. All activities focus upon producing a positive impact upon the community.
250+ year 8 students are outstanding in their achievements, self management and communication of engineering ideas based upon the real-life challenges faced by people and animals around the world.
We would like to thank program partners:
Engineers Australia, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools
and the enthusiastic staff at Aquinas College
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Students Say
Something about this program that I really appreciated was gaining a deeper understanding of the neurodivergent community and their needs. I also loved being creative in terms of synthesising a product to help this community, and working in a productive and supportive group.

I found it was really fun to work in a collaborative environment to create a unique project that can be applied in real life.
