Our students are our future. They are passionate, capable, informed young people, ready to lead initiatives that support the essential skills of tomorrow – Global Citizenship.
From Malala Yousafzai to Greta Thunberg, we are increasingly seeing that young people are not only willing to take a stand and make a difference in the issues they feel are important, but they are capable of doing so.
Half-day sessions are designed for schools that prefer tackling issues in the format of a one day forum.
Sprint 1: Diversity and Inclusion Challenges students to find ways to support and promote diversity and inclusivity in their school community.
Sprint 2: Tech for Good challenges students to find ways to support and promote diversity and inclusivity in their school community.
Focus is on students (Ambassadors) designing an action project to address an issue or problem in their school community which is implemented across the year and involves regular catch ups.
Skill development is scaffolded across the year.
Ambassadors will initially explore and learn about core concepts linked to Global Citizenship to set their projects up for success e.g. The UN’s SDGs, DEJI, and how to lead inclusively.
Project management skills are explored and developed including Digital Citizenship and Media Literacy.
Creating a podcast series interviewing students, staff and community about their cultural identity.
Partner with community organisations to create and distribute meals, clothes and hygiene bags for the local homeless.
Increase the number of non-invasive flora types and native fauna by planting and maintaining school gardens and caring for native animals.
Creating a school wide waste education program, including bringing ‘nude food’ in lunchboxes.
Interviewing local community members from diverse backgrounds for a dedicated YouTube channel.
Create a social media campaign and blog to address issues of mental health and spread positive mental health messaging.
Being able to say at enrollment interviews that we’re offering this is a real point of difference for us. Parents are really excited, parents want their kids to have opportunities they want their kids to have choice.

I’ve found that working with Meg enables us to provide children with access to language classes they may not have otherwise had access to. To be able to negotiate the specific needs of the community is very important, and that’s been facilitated beautifully with Meg.

Where Meg has been really beneficial for us, is that it's always continual. We don't have to find teachers or put a whole lot of money t resources for one language and employ someone who may leave the area. It just flows on, and that is really valuable for me.
