Honda School of Dreams
- Category: News
- Created on 10 February 2014
On 30th and 31st of January Honda School of Dreams delivered a fantastic workshop to 36 students from four of our partner primary schools and years 7-9 from our school, as well as 12 educators from all the schools.
The visiting facilitators shared Honda's belief in the power of dreams though a variety of tasks and workshops designed to develop their own dreams, aspirations, skills and confidence. The activities incorporated a number of thinking strategies and took pupils through information processing, creative thinking and evaluation activities as well as having an emphasis on developing their communication and presentation skills. The younger pupils integrated well with the pupils from Maghull and our year 9 were given the opportunity to mentor them as well and lead their teams.
Parents and carers and the SLT joined us on the second day to see the teams present to an audience of over 50 people, a fantastic thing to see.
We now plan to cascade aspects of the course to students across the school with the students who have already been trained helping to deliver the workshops.

Some of our Year 8 girls were lucky enough to be invited to a Computing and Technology day at Edge Hill University.
The day focused on girl's design aspirations by focusing on design and creativity through technology and computing. Activities included wearable technology, designing inspirational mobile apps,and creating small computer games using Stencyl. They also looked at stereo-types of computer scientists. The girls enjoyed computing and technology in a fun atmosphere.
The day certainly inspired some of our year 8 girls to be some of our future Computer Scientists!
