The Hester Hornbrook Academy is a school focused on supporting young people who have experienced education and/or social challenges, disengaged from school and from some of the most disadvantaged areas of Victoria. They help develop students literacy and numeracy skills, successfully complete a secondary school certificate, gain practical project-based skills, pursue their own individual learning goals, and take charge of their future. The Hester Hornbrook Academy combines education and wellbeing support with a teacher and youth worker in every classroom.

Our School is specifically designed for young people who want to change their world, to dare to dream and discover who they are; their unique gifts, talents and strengths. To figure out what a meaningful, fulfilling and joyful life is to them. Our commitment to you is that we are definitely not “one size fits all”. We will walk alongside you to help you to lead the change you want to see in yourself and in the world around you!
