HoTLaNe™ Academy

An Indigenous student experiences 1.5 YEARS GROWTH IN TWO WEEKS

We have recently implemented our fast tracked program ‘HoTLaNe in the FASTLANE’, which is proving successful in catching kids up fast.

Students who are eligible for this program receive two weeks of one-on-one instruction each school day for two consecutive weeks.

This program is currently being led by the CEO, who works with students in person.

INDIGENOUS STUDENT RETAINS KNOWLEDGE FROM SCHOOL OF WANDERERS EXCURSION

In November, 2023, 7 students aged between 9 and 14 travelled from the Mid North Coast of NSW to Papua New Guinea to walk the Kokoda Track.

Naharna, one of our grade 4 Indigenous students, retained the information she gained from her international travels and applied it to her writing during her HoTLaNe lessons over the past two weeks.

In this work sample, we see Naharna using geographically relevant vocabulary related to international wars. Naharna also independently made connections to recent news events related to the war in the Middle East.

We see here that Naharna’s literacy progress during the ‘HoTLANE in the FASTLANE’ program was substantial.

School of Wanderers Excursion Notice

Papua New Guinea

7 students travelled to PNG in November 2023 to walk the Kokoda Track.

Find photographs and videos of the excursion on our Facebook page.

The School of Wanderers will take education beyond the four walls of the classroom across state and international borders to inspire young people to learn through immersion and to see the world from a different perspective.

This philosophy of education could change the course of children’s lives.
