Student: The program that they're running at our school right now is really inspiring. I felt that it was really self-directed learning, and it was like, all on you. You had the responsibility, and you had the deadlines, and you had to meet them. And I think the students that are going ahead and doing that are going to be really successful in life.

Luke: Once we told them that they have permission to do whatever they want, they can use their imaginations - they can be crazy, be wild, have fun - the rules change.
Dr Poskitt (voice): All of those aspects have really helped them to manage their time and their own emotions, and it's also because it's a task they are enjoying. They are getting a sense of success, so that's helping.
