It's crazy to think that we are only 2 weeks away from end of term, because things are still pumping in Team Awesome. We are launching into the production phase of our inquiry, which has students asking questions and looking for solutions to "the biggest problems facing young people today".
We've had some expert advise from our school counsellor, Viv, who gave us some of the information and statistics of issues like depression, anxiety and sleeping disorders amongst teens.
In small groups, students have been developing questions to dig a little deeper into things like Self-Talk, Poverty and Social Media. Our goal is to go past the symptoms and aim to treat the problem itself.
One of our groups have linked in with the "So They Can" Foundation, to celebrate One Heart Day. Our students are connecting with a partner school in Kenya and are finding ways to teach each other. Through this students are exploring the ideas of inequality and the things that we universally value.
"Whilst dreams are spread equally across the globe, Opportunities are not"
