The Project
Each year, students in the CS Lewis Program have the freedom of spending two periods a fortnight developing a research project on a topic of their own choice, producing a mini thesis of at least 1000 word as their final product.
The students are taught how to research at a undergraduate honours or graduate level, using resources created by the University of Harvard, University of New South Wales, Monash University and the University of Sydney.
Over two terms, students engage in workshops on the following topics and skills
Choosing a topic
Formulating a question and thesis statement
Research and note taking
