Family Memories: Two Fabulous Local Schools

Pittwater House: The Bigger Picture

Rafts, ropes, damper, snow. A giant swing called Goliath. A cadet unit where a Year 8 can answer to a Year 12. At Pittwater House, some of the most important learning happens beyond the classroom, from a first day camp in Year 2 to a week in the snow in Year 10. It is where students find their confidence, their people and a bigger view of what they can do.

John Colet School: The Peaceful Pause

John Colet is a school families come back to. Students become lifelong friends, teachers stay for years and come to know a family well, and the same names appear on class lists a generation apart. Decades on, former students enrol their own children. It's the clearest measure of what the school actually teaches.

Some things happen naturally in a Montessori community that feel very much like family; knowing one another well, growing together over time, looking out for one another, and having a sense that everyone has a part to play.
