A school where children learn through play, nature and place

An invitation to a different kind of school

A new, independent primary school on sixteen hectares of Wadandi Country, pasture and food forest in Vasse.

From January 2027 we propose to welcome our first Pre-primary cohort, adding year levels each year through to Year 3. Our curriculum incorporates every requirement of the Western Australian Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework - and we teach it almost entirely outside, in long projects shaped by children's questions and the rhythm of the six Noongar seasons.

Between us, we have spent the better part of forty years asking what schools could be when children are trusted as capable, curious learners and nature is treated as a co-teacher rather than a backdrop.

(The school board is currently completing the final registration process.)

Every day, every season, in almost every weather
