Lindfield Learning Village (LLV) has hit a historic milestone.
Since opening its doors in 2019 to their inaugural group of Year 7s, these students have entered into their final year of secondary study.
Lindfield Learning Village are guiding their first cohort through their HSC.
The Upper North Shore school was the answer to an alternative educational system. LLV concentrates on individualised learning, fluidity for students to learn at their appropriate level not their age, and for teaching to be collaborative and flexible.
This HSC cohort say that being a part of the school’s inception means they were able to shape their educational experience, and development LLV’s unique environment.
‘We participated in the formation of the school. We contributed to school rules, decided on uniform policies, and established technology zones,’ says Maya, a Lindfield Learning Village HSC student.
Teachers would often ask for feedback on their practice, making the students feel they could take ownership of their education.
This milestone reflects an active pursuit for alternate education. The NSW Government in 2019 under the Coalition and Gladys Berejiklian spend over $40 million renovating the school from the former University of Technology Sydney Ku-ring-gai campus.
In 2031, the other ‘home grown’ cohort, the students who commenced Kindergarten in 2019, will face their HSC and final secondary schooling year.
