Meeting and getting to know our students and engaging them to get active.

If You Could Pick Any 3 People as Dinner Guests, Who Would They Be and Why?
My grandfathers and their fathers. They had lived through so much of Australia’s modern history that hearing and learning their stories would be fascinating.

For any students who have NDIS funding, they are able to claim our support costs through their NDIS plan as long as it's self managed or plan managed. We also offer pick up and drop off for anyone living within 20km of Eltham which we have found to be extremely helpful for busy parents.
