Class 12 Projects

Class 12 Projects are an integral part of our students’ final year at Perth Waldorf School. The Project pedagogy is designed to help students explore soul-searching questions about who they are and how they fit in the world. By integrating all they have learned through a Waldorf curriculum, we aim to develop a diverse range of attributes, knowledge, and skills in our graduating students to support their future education, work, and life.

The Project is an immense undertaking, consisting of four key components: the Written, the Practical, the Oral Presentation, and the Journal. Students are well supported in their pursuits, and we are grateful to have dedicated staff at PWS who volunteer and show genuine interest in supervising individual students. Students are also required to seek external support from mentors who provide expertise in their chosen topic.

We have shared a list of some of the topic areas students are pursuing this year. If there is a topic that you feel you may be able to offer perspective on, please email us directly so we can put you in touch with students where appropriate. We value our school community and welcome your interest and possible investment in the Projects.

Our Class 12 students are engaging in research and developing a question to which they will spend the year striving to find an answer. We are excited to see their ongoing progress and look forward to sharing their insights and progress with you throughout the year.
