Partnership Case Study
Parap Primary School: Study 2
Alfie the Alien transformed the classroom into a space of imagination and empathy, inviting Parap students to help a stranded extraterrestrial learn how humans communicate, collaborate, and care for one another. The inquiry blended literacy, creativity, and social–emotional learning in a way that felt playful and deeply meaningful.
