Project Q and A
Do you have any questions about the Project?
Ask your teacher now, so that it will inform your brainstorming process!
Important Information for all classes:
Currently, there is no money allocated to this project. If you require funds to complete your project, you will need to outline your case in writing to your Head of RE once you have an estimate of how much money you will need. *This is to be undertaken only once a class project has been selected.
Whilst you are free to brainstorm as creatively as you please, please consider the practical implications of your project, the feasibility, the logistics, time etc. What can you actually do in 5 weeks? (NB: If you are planning to hold an event etc, this will most likely need to occur in Term 3 or 4).
The class project chosen in your classes will be subject to approval of the Head of RE, in consultation with the Deputy Principals. Each participating RE class will complete a class project (1 per class).
The project needs to have enough 'meat' to it, so that a whole class can participate in it, and there are various roles for people to exemplify their gifts, talents and their understanding of the social justice issue of Youth Homelessness.
