What does the future of northern Adelaide look like?

Students from Thomas More College visited the Polaris Centre to learn about urban planning, economic growth, and entrepreneurship in our region.

From exploring Salisbury's economic development strategy to hearing real-world business insights, students gained a valuable look at the opportunities shaping our City's future.

Do you want your students to learn about the entrepreneurial process, explore urban planning, and discover opportunities in business and innovation?

Our workshops are designed to inspire young people, build their understanding of economic development, and encourage them to think creatively about the future of their communities and careers.
