The Branch Pod is our learning Pod for young people aged 12-17 years. It is open from 9:35am to 3:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, during term time. Each student’s experience on each day is unique as they have access to the resources in the pod, and collaborate with facilitators and their peers.

Plans are made as a group in the opening meeting and can be based on ideas from closing meetings in previous sessions, and by exploring ideas according to our resources and what students feel connected to. The interests and curiosities of all students are taken into account and everyone’s needs are balanced.

Our primary goal in the Branch pod is to be a place where students feel safe to take initiative, and gain the skills to work collaboratively and independently towards their own goals. We want students to feel more connected to themselves, their families and the world around them.
