Parent Testimonials

Speaker 1:
Ben really struggled with his previous school.

Speaker 2:
He was pretty un-engaged, not really interested in what he was being taught or how he was being taught.

Speaker 3:
My son has fit really well into The Academy classroom. The Academy kept assuring me, “Look, they all love footy, so they’ve got a common interest to start with,” and they were right.

Speaker 4:
We feel that the passion’s come back since he’s been in The Academy and he gets up and he’s willing to go to school every day.

Speaker 5:
The Academy is just more streamlined to Cody’s needs. It makes a big difference.

Speaker 6:
The teachers have been absolutely amazing with the kids. They want to know the kids. They’re interested and they actually want to grow and develop them.

Speaker 4:
It’s not more of a teacher relationship. It’s more of a good friend.

Speaker 1:
The Academy definitely has changed my perspective of VCAL. I probably didn’t understand it fully before that.

Speaker 3:
I see it as a legitimate option and full alternative to VCE and one that is actually much more suited for my son.

Speaker 1:
I wish it had of been around when I was going to school because I think I would have liked it as well.
