Applied Learning Programme (ALP)

Innovation and Service Learning through Integrated Project Work

Haig Girls’ School has developed a distinctive approach to Integrated Project Work (IPW) that involves inter-disciplinary, place-based learning and/or authentic problem solving, service learning and value creation. Each project is designed to develop 21st century competencies such as collaboration, critical and inventive thinking and civic literacy and achieve the desired student outcomes where our Haig girls will be confident persons, self-directed learners, active contributors and concerned citizens.
