Hands-on learning in Tinker Club

May 4, 2026 3:43 PM

Tinker Club is a strong example of how purposeful learning can be introduced early and built through connection across the School.

Developed by Junior School STEM Teacher David Perfect and Gifted and Talented Program Coordinator Belinda Cox, the initiative provides Kindergarten to Year 2 students with hands-on opportunities to explore STEM through play, problem-solving and creative thinking.

A key feature is the involvement of Senior School students, who support the program as part of service and leadership pathways, creating a meaningful cross-school learning environment.

Currently being piloted at the Valley campus, Tinker Club reflects a deliberate focus on curiosity, collaboration and future-ready learning.
