High Resolves Timetable

HIGH RESOLVES – Years 7 and 8 program

High Resolves is a not-for-profit educational initiative that motivates high school students to be purposeful global citizens and develop the mindsets and skills they need to lead their communities, and the world, to a brighter future.

Year 7 Program

On Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 May students in Year 7 will be involved in the High Resolves program. Students will spend three periods on one of these days undertaking a module on Identity & Purpose. This addresses the core questions, “Who am I?” and “Who do I want to become?” Participants develop their sense of collective identity as members of a single human race. Participants will develop a competence in independent thinking and associated values, including open-mindedness and critical thinking.

Year 8 Program

On Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 May year 8 students will be involved a module on Just Society. Students will work on this module for three periods on one of the days. This module addresses the core question, “What kind of world do I want to see?” and “Will my choices be on the right side of history in 50 years?” Participants imagine what kind of world we would want if we did not know in advance where or who we would be. Thinking through such issues should lead us to favour greater social justice. Participants will develop a competence in social advocacy.
