A cluster of schools in semi-rural NSW introduced the concept of the schools as ‘learning hubs’ within the community. The schools saw 100% engagement in their initiatives, including a long lunch that showcased Project Based Learning, kitchen garden programs, setting student goals based on student feedback and a new style of school report.

Independent surveys indicate that there has been a growth in wellbeing to a level above average for the types of schools involved in the project. Behavioural data indicates that students are more engaged in learning.
