1. More ar areas needed more teachers at school to supervise areas.
2. More teachers needed more students enrolled.
3. More students s enrolled need more familiesattracted to area.
This gave us our problem-  how to attract more families which led to an investigation of current facilities and infrastructure and eventually a new town plan for the suburb. This was presented to local authorities and business representatives.]]> 2016-10-04 09:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/j_zagami/5u4ai8ukq1cb/wish/128101803 Spending money bwalk58 https://padlet.com/j_zagami/5u4ai8ukq1cb/wish/128105156 Student Council coming up with ideas on how to spend funds raised throughout the year.
1.  Students brainstorm what the funds could be spent on.
2.  Students then rule out items depending on cost and maximum student benefit.
3.  Students then take their final 3 choices to a staff meeting and have teachers present to their classes for voting.
4.  Students decide to spend their money on new sandtoys for the Prep - 3 playgrounds and the purchase of new handballs, basketballs and skipping ropes for the 4-6 areas.

Teams of students form a 'company', identify and define a school community problem, understand user needs and design an innovative solution/product (incorporating robotics). In company teams, they perform the roles of CEO, Marketing Manager, Advertising Executive, Robotics Engineer and Sales Leader. Students design and create a business plan and marketing/advertising materials (business cards, logos, advertising, product packaging) and prepare a trade display to share their designs solutions.

We looked at the United States Spending budget and discussed how much money is spent on NASA. 

Students were then given the pie chart and then in their groups had to come up with a solution to redistribute the percentages spent on each sector of the economy.

Keeping in mind the discoveries that have impacted our lives, will they give the Science sector more money?     

The problem being - from which sector will students take the money from?  How will this effect the other sectors?  Why is there so much money spent on their Military?

Finally, they had to write up their solutions to Donald Trump (we didn't really send ) persuading him to change the budget.
