School outreach programs

We run and participate in workshops, competitions and outreach programs for secondary students in all year levels. Designed for engaging experiences to discover the exciting possibilities of knowledge across a range of disciplines.

"The sheCommerce experience has been invaluable in assisting me to view and approach issues creatively and from different perspectives. Tackling world situations from various points of view, such as the culture of a group of people, enables solving issues ethically and creating positive change for the greater good of all humanity."

- Dina, Year 10 student
