The Future Schools Collective

The Future Schools Collective, is a global collaboration designed to support schools in moving from imagining what school could be, to actively shaping dynamic learning experiences, collaborative learning environments and purpose-driven schools that inspire, engage and unite. Our vision sees individual schools connected locally and globally to like-minded institutions and individuals. Schools have the opportunity to work alongside global thought leaders, international experts and educational organisations. The Collective is a home for future focussed educationalists from across the world. We aim to provide a meeting place, a point of connection for practitioners, schools, thought leaders, academics and education influencers to meet, share, learn and advance education. This collective will share and benefit from a wealth of wisdom, knowledge, resources, and experiences, all aimed at creating purposeful, adaptable, co-created and trust-based learning environments.

A vibrant network of leaders and educators committed to the future of education

About The Collective

Future Schools brings together some of the most innovative educators and schools worldwide to explore and demonstrate what is possible in education.

As educational leaders, you play a critical role in shaping the lives of your students and the Australian educational landscape. We are here to support you in any way we can, and we are eager to see the impact you will have on your schools and the wider community.

Why should you join the collective

If you’re like some of the leaders in our learning community, you recognise the challenge of finding time to:

  • expand your network, 
  • to get out of your school and connect with others around school improvement, and
  • to stay up-to-date with and at the forefront of future-focused schooling

Or perhaps you are looking for:

  • examples of how others implemented innovation but don’t know where to start?
  • are looking for a change framework but don’t know the good from the bad
  • or maybe you're looking to see what’s happening in schools across Australia in real-time

Or maybe you need cost-effective ways to:

  • Develop your staff and teachers
  • Build capacity in your staff to bring about change that will last
  • Make sure your strategy lands
