Inspire

Our Inspiring Futures... (IF) program comprises a suite of events conducted by the Flinders Discovery Institute targeting the needs and interests of Senior School students.

The IF program mitigates the impediment that "you cannot be what you cannot see", by providing opportunities for students to interact with high-performing role models within the context of a purposeful, experiential event.

IF... events more broadly aim to:

• Inspire students’ pursuit of excellence within and beyond Flinders
• Connect young people with inspiring role models who can share their career journeys and strategies to overcome barriers to success
• Enhance young people’s skills to be leaders of, and advocates for, awareness and change within and beyond Flinders
• Promote and celebrate the achievements of world-class innovators, practitioners and researchers
