For Parents

Give your child the confidence to explore what they could become.

The future will belong to people who can think critically, solve problems, communicate ideas and adapt to change.

Dreamers Lab gives students in Grades 9–12 an opportunity to develop these capabilities by exploring entrepreneurship and building solutions to real-world problems.

Help your child discover what they’re capable of.

Academic achievement matters, but young people also need opportunities to apply what they know. They need to learn how to ask questions, work with others, test ideas, handle setbacks and take initiative. Dreamers Lab creates a structured environment where students can practise these capabilities through entrepreneurship projects.

Students learn to move beyond asking, “What is the right answer?” to asking, “What problem can I solve, and how can I find out if my solution works?”

Six experiences that build capability.

Explore

Discover interests, strengths and problems worth solving.

Create

Develop ideas and explore different solutions.

Collaborate

Work with peers, share responsibilities and communicate clearly.

Experiment

Build prototypes and learn from feedback.

Present

Explain their thinking and showcase their work.

Reflect

Understand what they learned and identify their next steps.

Outcomes that last beyond the program.

  • Greater confidence in expressing ideas.
  • Practical problem-solving experience.
  • Exposure to business and entrepreneurship.
  • Experience working collaboratively.
  • Better understanding of customers and real-world needs.
  • Practice in communication and presenting.
  • An opportunity to discover interests outside conventional academic subjects.

These are intended learning outcomes, not guaranteed individual results. Students develop at different rates.

Curiosity is the only prerequisite.

Dreamers Lab may be a good fit if your child is curious, creative, interested in solving problems or simply eager to try something different. They do not need to be exceptionally academic, highly extroverted or certain about their future. Your child does not need to become an entrepreneur. They just need the opportunity to explore.

Questions parents ask us.

Will this interfere with schoolwork?

The program is designed as a structured enrichment experience. Session timings and expected project work should be shared before enrolment so families can assess the commitment.

Does my child need a business idea?

No. The program starts with exploration and problem discovery.

Is this only for students interested in business studies?

No. Entrepreneurship involves creativity, technology, design, communication, science and problem-solving across disciplines.

Will students be expected to invest money?

The program should prioritise low-cost experimentation. Any materials, paid tools or additional project expenses should be communicated clearly in advance.

Will my child receive a certificate?

Certificate arrangements can be confirmed for each cohort. The central focus is the student’s learning and project work.

Give curiosity a chance to become capability.
