Student leadership program

Student leadership program Wyndham Tech School is where we connect students to their future. We design and innovate highly immersive programs to inspire students to interact with technology that will activate curiosity, encourage bold ideas and creative problem solving.

The Student Leadership program is a chance to interact with the Tech School team, share your ideas and help shape our programs and events. In return, you will get to tinker with the latest high tech equipment and software, interview inspiring young professionals, access work experience opportunities (Yr. 10 and above) and receive a formal digital badge that acknowledges your commitment and participation that you can share with future employers.
