24.01.2022 Open Day Thursday 25th of June, in case you are considering Distance Ed while waiting for us to open lol!

24.01.2022 Are you are teen interested in getting together for a coffee and a chat about...Philosophy, creative writing, Sci Fi, Psychology, environmental awareness, NLP, ...the Arts...etc? We would like to start up a casual social group for teens that like to think, plan and create. Who'd rather talk about life, the universe and everything than commercial trends. Maybe a Sunday arvo at a coffee shop?? We are open to ideas. We look forward to some interesting, inspirational and fun conversations! See more

21.01.2022 We have searched high and low, far and wide but we are not giving up! Please share! Thank you all for your continuing support Press Release 21.09.2020 Call out to the Community from new school.... Hervey Bay Future School is an Accredited new school which has been looking for a new site. Founder Leeanne Weir is calling out to the community for assistance. I am a little surprised with such great community support that we still haven’t secured a premises Ms Weir said. I feel there has to be something out there, even if it were for just one high school class of 15 students. We would need to secure somewhere urgently to start in January 2021. Hervey Bay Future School has an educational model of creative, child-centred learning within small class sizes, unique for our region. Their focus is a whole-child approach to learning with real life application; one that is designed to prepare and educate students with a realistic, practical and genuinely engaging approach. We have been somewhat restricted by people’s idea of what we need. Usually community zoning includes educational and sometimes mixed use commercial does as well. Often these types of schools start out in a community / church hall, but it is helpful to think outside the square. Pinnacle Academic College secured a premises used for school holiday camps. Mawarra Independent School managed to find a rural rental with a hard stand for parking and rezoned it themselves. Goora Gan Steiner School operate out of a Surf Club. If unable to find a site soon, their plan is to secure investors to purchase a site to rent to them. We would be a secure, long-term tenant enabling returns higher than residential. There are quite a few small acreage properties suitable for 3 classrooms up for sale at the moment. Ms Weir said. Anyone able to assist in any way are asked to contact Hervey Bay Future School at [email protected], phone 0407 456 649 or via their website www.herveybayfutureschool.qld.edu.au

21.01.2022 Hi everyone, just an update that we are still looking for a premises. We thought we had one almost secured but it fell through (we needed permission to bring in 1 relocatable toilet). We are still working towards opening ASAP, there has to be someone out there willing to give us a go. It seems organisations cannot be bothered as they don’t need the rent income. If you know of anyone on a committee please ask them if they’d be willing to hold a discussion with us. We don’t need a perfect premises, we have a Can-do attitude. We just need a lessor willing to work with us to allow us to do what we have to in order to keep Accreditation. Also in case you know of an investor, Boundary Rd sale price has dropped from $875 000 to offers over $500 000. This would allow them a good return with a reasonable rent for us.

14.01.2022 What does creativity mean to you?

11.01.2022 RIP to Sir Ken Robinson, an eloquent and indefatigable defender of the role of the arts and creativity in education. His TED talks made him world-famoushis pre...sentation called "Do schools kill creativity?" remains the most popular TED talk of all timeand he wrote widely, including major books on creativity in 2001 and 2015. Robinson was knighted in 2003 for his distinguished career in service to the arts. He was a staunch critic of standardized tests and compliance-based classrooms, and an unapologetic champion of every kind of creative endeavorfrom theater, to music, film, painting, dance, and everything in between. He died yesterday after a brief battle with cancer. His voice will be greatly missed.

04.01.2022 Congratulations Michelle! At last! Your perseverance and dedication is inspirational

04.01.2022 Another future school! A great example of creative, child-centred learning!

03.01.2022 Hi everyone, hope you are well. Just a quick update re our opening date. Due to the uncertainty of the current situation, we are uncertain lol. At the moment we are working on Term 4 for older class, and Term 1 next year for younger class. This is dependent on being able to, in Term 3, conduct working bees, interviews, open days (can be short individual time slots), acceptance of donations (PS esp need bookcases) and set-up. Let's hope for, and work towards, curve flattening! During uncertain times, schools like ours are even more needed. We will get there eventually lol. We have faith of the heart! Take care and stay safe, Leeanne and team
