The Big Picture online course for all students to create their own Personal Interest Projects

‘Give It A Go’ is an opportunity for our young people to do learning projects a little differently, both during the Learning from Home period brought about by Covid-19, but also during any phase in the school calendar.

Personal Interest Projects (or ‘PIPS’) aim to give students a go at driving their own learning by giving them time-out from the curriculum and timetabled classes to do learning projects based around their personal interests and passions.

It is hoped that this will bring them satisfaction, joy and insight into their abilities as a person as well as a learner.

Sewing project

While learning from home, each student will be asked to design, research, and carry out a learning project of some personal significance that entails making, doing or presenting a product, testing it, improving it and then exhibiting it at school at the end of Term.

The course includes:

  • An illustrated digital presentation to guide students through each step of creating their project
  • Templates for project proposals and reflections

  • A teacher guide to help manage and implement the course
