Blackfriars provides the opportunity for students to be considered for the Ax program. The ‘Ax’ program is an exciting enrichment program for Year 7-10 students who wish to further extend their learning.

The “Ax” program will offer students a broad range of problem solving and project-based activities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and enable highly motivated students to extend themselves, collaborate with other like-minded students and excel.

The “Ax” program supplements the Year 7-10 Academic Curriculum as a weekly commitment after school.

“Ax” has three major components:

• Project based in-school and after-school STEM extension activities;
• Mentoring by industry experts; and
• Opportunity to participate in local and international STEM experiences

Where to from here?

Please follow the steps outlined in the Subject Selection Planning Form for students in Years 7 to 10 in 2022.

Students will be considered for the Ax program based on their academic performance and commitment to study.

Please feel free to contact the School should you have any queries.
