The ISHCMC Parent Design Program is initially a four-part evening design program that allows parents of ISHCMC children to complete four different short design projects, facilitated by Mr Wooldridge and a handful of young helpers (your children). The purpose of this is to strengthen the school-parent community and to share what we do in school by opening up the facilities that most people wouldn't usually have access to. It's also fun.
The hope is that this can expand into something bigger and more meaningful - perhaps a progressive skills-based course or a community of thinkers and problem solvers looking to serve others?
Information for the next four sessions is as follows:
Session 1 Wednesday 28th October
Session 2 Tuesday 3rd November
Session 3 Wednesday 11th November
Session 4 Wednesday 18th November
All sessions are in room 502 of the secondary campus
All sessions run 6pm - 7.30 pm (ish)
Please arrive at the secondary campus for 5.50
