St Catherine’s College was incredibly fortunate to secure funding from the Malka Foundation to establish the Centre of Youth Innovation which houses Bloom and a number of other like-minded organisations that are collaboratively focussed on developing innovation and entrepreneurship amongst young people in the State. The Director of the Centre, Andrew Stead, is working closely with schools to establish their own innovation programs and for the first time this year will be hosting a residential Innovation Week for regional students at the College.
Quote from Andrew: “The demand for content and knowledge around innovation is just exploding and we have expanded our programs to include a Train the Teacher approach with several schools, Cyber Saturday programs and monthly Innovation Club meet ups for school age students, leadership programs and our ever successful tertiary accredited unit called Launchpad which is run every 12 weeks. The collaboration and integration with other organisations means we are minimising overlap and are able to deliver bespoke programs that suit different needs. I’d love to hear from you if you have an idea that could assist us!”
