Lighthouse Skills: Developing Minds, Fostering Growth
At Lighthouse Academy, our Lighthouse Skills programme is dedicated to providing Type II enrichment opportunities that focus on enhancing the intellectual and emotional skills of our students. Through this transformative programme, we offer a range of activities designed to develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, creativity, and more.
What We Offer:
Critical Thinking Workshops:
Our workshops are designed to challenge students with complex problems that require innovative solutions. For example, students might engage in a workshop where they develop strategies for real-world issues such as environmental sustainability or urban planning. These sessions encourage students to think critically and approach problems from multiple perspectives.
Creative Problem-Solving Sessions:
Students participate in interactive sessions that foster creativity and ingenuity. They might be tasked with designing a new product or service, creating marketing strategies for a hypothetical company, or developing a mobile app prototype. These activities help students to think outside the box and apply their knowledge in novel ways.
Leadership and Team-Building Exercises:
Through various team-building activities, students learn the importance of collaboration and leadership. For instance, they may work together to solve escape room challenges, participate in group debates, or engage in collaborative art projects. These exercises build interpersonal skills and foster a sense of teamwork and cooperation.
Mentorship Programmes:
Our mentorship programmes connect students with experts and professionals from various fields. Mentors guide students through projects, provide career advice, and help them to set and achieve personal and academic goals. This direct interaction with mentors helps students to gain valuable insights and inspiration for their future careers.
Research and Inquiry-Based Learning:
Students are encouraged to undertake research projects on topics of their interest. They might investigate the impact of social media on youth, explore the history and future of space exploration, or study the effects of climate change on local ecosystems. These projects enhance their research skills, critical thinking, and deepen their understanding of complex subjects.
Public Speaking and Debate Clubs:
To build confidence and communication skills, students participate in public speaking and debate clubs. They might prepare and deliver speeches on various topics, engage in structured debates, and receive constructive feedback. These activities help students to articulate their thoughts clearly and persuasively, honing their debating skills.
Learning Acquisition Techniques:
We provide sessions focused on advanced learning techniques and strategies to help students improve their study habits and academic performance. This includes memory techniques, effective note-taking, time management skills, and leveraging technology for learning. These skills empower students to become self-directed learners and excel academically.
