What is Amplify?
Amplify is an ELTHAM College program with the ambitious goal of exploring what contemporary learning could look like for K – 12 schools. It cultivates relationships with like-minded individuals and organisations to pursue ELTHAM College’s vision of growing hearts and minds.
Yong Zhao’s work on cultivating the unique strengths of individuals is a key influence of the program. The following video explores this concept further.
