The learning context
Students identify and explore a local community organisation, with the intention of carrying out a project that brings benefits to the people using that facility. Students may undertake a small enterprise such as recycling toys and games for the local Plunket rooms, or planting hanging baskets at the community hall. Or they may pursue a larger project such as paving a small area, or planting a new garden. They may also consider fun fundraising to purchase new team uniforms for the athletics club, or to raise enough revenue to buy a bench seat for the town playground. Students will practise being social entrepreneurs.
