Relaxation Room

The student inquiry group ran a relaxation room for seniors, during exam week. The idea was to give students a place to go and relax half an hour before an exam, where they could participate in activities to help them to relax.

Student Inquiry

There are two areas of Inquiry so far, Perception in the Community and Boring Lunchtimes.

The Inquiry

  1. Some key questions that might help you start your inquiry:
    • What is one of the issues in our community and what can we do about it?
    • How does it impact me and/or the community?
    • Who does it involve? What does it look like? Where is it? What causes it?
    • Why does it happen? How does it happen? What is being/or has already been done?
    • What could I do? How can I link this to a digital outcome.

Group 1 – Perception in the Community

  • Teacher Survey – Oli, Amon, Georgia
  • Student Survey –
  • Student Survey (those who are are not students here) – Taizak, Josh
