Entrepreneurial Schools: Creating a Culture of Agency and Innovation

For Secondary Schools Nationally

The Entrepreneurial Schools project is a two-year national initiative designed to accelerate student agency and contemporary learning models. The project is delivered by Young Change Agents in partnership with the Australian Secondary Principals' Association.

Please note: This opportunity is for Australian Public High Schools only. For any other schools interested in entrepreneurial learning please get in touch with Young Change Agents for other options (including funded options) - hello@youngchangeagents.com

Participants will collaborate with experienced educators and industry leaders to build whole-school approaches that strengthen student agency, connect learning to real-world contexts, and develop capabilities for lifelong learning and civic contribution.

Value per school is $50k
There is no cash contribution cost to the school, as it is fully funded by contributions from the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation, Young Change Agents, and ASPA. (some travel to two PL events and CRT costs may be borne by the school)
Participating schools will become national flagship sites for youth agency and innovation, positioning themselves at the forefront of contemporary learning design and authentic community partnerships.

In this session, we will provide an introduction to the opportunity, highlighting the selection criteria, support model, measurement framework, and timeline for participating schools and hopefully answer all your questions.
