Northside has implemented an intentional Design Thinking program across its middle school. Described as a program to encourage higher-order, cross-curricular thinking, it involves Year 7 students participating in a weekly Think Tank skills lesson, Year 8 students participating in a Design Dilemma simulation day, and Year 9 students undertaking an elective known as Challenge-Based Learning. It’s hoped the program will equip students with the skills they need not only for their educational journey, but for the rest of their lives.
