Year 9 students were able to participate in an ABCN Future Thinkers learning day at Ventia recently. The day focussed on continuing to build the necessary skills students require to be successful in the world at and beyond school. Skill building included understanding the principles of Design Thinking, developing creative solutions to problems, confidence in coming up with solutions to problems and communicating ideas to others.
