Finding Solutions in Year 9 Big Ideas

The first few weeks of Autumn term have seen the Year 9 students enter the solution phase of their challenge based learning project: What is the Great War of the 21st century? Having established what they believe is the Great War facing humanity, the students have worked in their platoons to devise a solution that they as a small group of young Australians can do to make a difference. 

Over th past few weeks, they have presented their proposals for solutions and worked towards implementing these. The solutions have ranged from developing awareness campaigns through websites and Twitter feeds to developing displays for San Salvador and educational iBooks and activities for students in the Junior School. Week 5 is "Action Week" and we look forward to students putting their solutions in action either at the College, or through the use of technology, around the world.
