We help the wildchild travel through their critical older teen years, remote from the modern urban dangers.

Our VETiS Tech Cert 3 in Tourism, Hospitality, and the Boating industry will set them on a good path to face the adult world.

Our Educational Philosophy:- Let the Government schools do the teaching work. They are paid by the government and are too difficult to change. Avoca trust provides a safe home and pushes the schools to do their job, especially when teaching is off track for some students, especially the wild clever ones.

The school ships can hold teens before they walk out, simply because they can. Some NEED different to hold them.

SA High schools' current walkout rate is about 24%

"There is something rotten in the state of - - -"

Every young person possesses unique, untapped potential. Our deeply empathetic, imaginative, adventurous, cocooned learning support style focuses on the whole person.

• The Primary Goal: Building unwavering confidence, strong character, and moral development.

• A Holistic Curriculum: While on a cost basis, the main course delivery must be done by Government tech. As "Home schooling on the School ship" we provide remedial core Maths and English, our rich curriculum incorporates literature, art, music, adventure play, and creative imagination—all while students work toward their hands-on Certificate III industry qualifications.

• Residential schools, including school ships, are a haven for maturing teens. They learn life's safe navigating skills before they have to face the storms of adult life.
