“Our journey to becoming a vibrant, sustainable and authentic learning community began with the belief that it
takes a whole village to raise a child”
(Teresa Stone, Principal - Derrimut Primary School).

Adopting the model of the city as a metaphor we see; the civic centre (the town hall) transfers into the school context as the administration area, the town square becomes the school’s resource area, the city streets are developed as the school’s learning streets, the neighbourhoods that connect each house become the breakout spaces that connect each home base.
