Presentation, interview and public speaking.
Presentation, interview and public speaking will empower you with effective communication and teamwork skills. Using activities, mock-ups and practice, you will learn how to communicate effectively, speak strategically and charismatically, create persuasive arguments, express ideas eloquently, and consider aspects and perspectives that you may not have considered previously. By the end of the course, you will improve your research skills, innovative ability, and critical thinking skills, as well as your capacity to collaborate and respect other people's opinions. Most importantly though you will discover that presentations, interviews and public speaking can be fun!
Sports Camp
If you want to improve your fitness levels in any sport, such as swimming, soccer, cricket, basketball, tennis, or badminton, a multi-sport camp is for you. Sports can help you perform better in school, relax more and worry less, deal with setbacks, work better with others, boost self-esteem, and increase your energy — all of which can help you regain balance. At multi-sport camp, you will learn how to focus, organise your time, set goals, strengthen friendships, and boost team spirit.
Entrepreneurship Camp
What should you keep in mind when starting a new business? How do you prepare a business plan and ensure that your customers - both external and internal - understand you and that you understand their needs, while also exploring ways to watch your competition? At Entrepreneurship Camp, we will investigate the process of launching a new product and the major issues associated with it, as well as dipping our toes into marketing strategy and the various tools - digital and traditional - to use to communicate your products/services to your target audience in the most profitable way.
STEAM Camp
STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) is an excellent subject choice for students who are interested in learning about how the world works.
This camp is ideal if you are a budding structural engineer, a software designer, or simply want to learn more about the fascinating and diverse area of STEAM.
Enjoy scientific disciplines while gaining practical study experience through experimentation, hands-on learning, and physical problem-solving. Not only will you gain subject knowledge, but you will also gain an understanding of the tech world and how STEAM subjects translate into exciting careers. AI, programming, robotics, mathematical principles, technical drawing, engineering solutions, architecture, mechanics, and many other topics are covered.

"It’s been so much fun meeting everyone from all of the different countries and doing all the interesting activities. Favourite trip as going to the beach hanging out with friends in the sun and seeing so many animals. I really liked business and history courses. Biology was really cool because we got to cut squids. Come to ACC and you will meet so many new people from all over the world, do so many different activities and learn at the same time".
