Our Mission: Fund Phase One of Our Innovative School!
We've dreamt, we've planned, and now it's time to turn those dreams into reality.
We're all set to submit a Development Application by March 2024 that will lay the foundation for an environment where our children can thrive even more.
Our team of volunteers have contributed 8000+hrs of probono effort to get us to this point. But, like all great tales of progress, we need the collective power of our community to bring this vision to life.
As a community based organisation, we are calling on the community who would like their children to receive a progressive, holistic education to donate funds via Give Now to help pay for our Development Application (DA) and essential costs for consultants.
Donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated, just hit the link below.

Teaching Methodology
We cultivate a culture that supports children to develop compassion, creativity, connectedness and curiosity using holistic, open-ended, place-based and self-directed pedagogies. You can read more about our educational philosophy here.
Our goal is to provide children with an education that encompasses their whole ecology - place, community, culture, family, head, heart and hands. They leave us empowered to shape a sustainable future and create their place and purpose in the world.
We teach and learn using the NSW Syllabus of the Australian Curriculum. What makes us different is how we teach it.
Get Involved
The working group are seeking to connect with anyone in the community who is interested in making this school a reality. We’d love to talk to potential grant writers, advisors, mentors, financial donors and people willing to contribute specific knowledge to pedagogy, school administration, management and fundraising.
We acknowledge that our First Nation peoples are, were and always will be custodians of the Country on which we live - may we walk lightly upon it. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, wisdom and hopes for our shared futures.
