Matrix Programme

In September and October all TY students participated in a two day Matrix Masterclass program. The program was designed with the help of students to inspire self-direction, imagination, smarter thinking and confidence in all students. Malcolm Rowe has delivered the program for a number of years to schools all over the country so we all knew that we were in for a treat!

When we first stepped into the room Malcolm put us all at ease and gave us a red folder full of sheets with valuable resources for the program. After this he started the first session where he helped us all improve our goal setting. We also did a variety of team building activities that included puzzles and activities that helped us all bond as a class. To help motivate us to perform well, the group with the most points at the end of the two sessions won a big mystery prize!

Three weeks later Malcolm returned for our second session of the Matrix Programme. We covered more topics and we did more puzzles and team building exercises. We then had an anonymous Q&A session about TY in general. Throughout the session Malcolm gave us more valuable information and resources to put in our folder.

All T.Ys found this programme really beneficial as Malcom encouraged us to take part and make the most out of our T.Y experience.
