Indie School provides students the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment using individualised learning and education plans, tailored to each student's own education and life circumstances. Smaller class sizes allow students greater opportunity to identify their strengths and work to improve areas in which they lack confidence.
The greatest difference between Indie School and many other alternative education settings is that our foundations lie in Adult Education philosophies. Choice, independence, mutual respect and accountability all have a significant role to play. In return for higher levels of self-responsibility, the students can enjoy some greater freedoms.
An exciting opportunity exists for a dynamic and committed Head of School to lead the continued growth and development of Indie School Werribee — a new campus within our multi-campus network, catering to students in Years 9–12. This role is to commence Term 4, 2025.
