Project Utopia

Our Year 7 students, under the guidance of Year 10 IST students, have been actively involved in their cross curricular learning project, Project Utopia. This technology based learning experience sees students working in small groups, each taking on a role to develop their utopian society.  The Year 10s devised scenarios for the 24 different groups of people living on five different planets.  The groups had to interact, trade and solve problems to gain credtis and resources, creating a self-sufficient hypothetical society.

Experiences and knowledge from each curriculum Key Learning Area must be incorporated into their designs. Problem solving and analytical skills, along with collaboration and cooperation are key to the success of students' projects as they work towards their final solutions.

Thank you to Ms Kate Farrow, Mr Warwick Edmund and the Year 10 students for the ongoing development of this outstanding opportunity for our Year 7 students.
