New School 2 -What is the Purpose of Schooling?

We are excited to announce the launch of the second instalment in our documentary series, entitled "New School 2 – What is the Purpose of Schooling?", presented once again by Dr Scott Alterator

New School 2 follows the success of New School 1, and premiered at LEA's 22nd Annual Regional Conference AMPLIFY in Melbourne, May 2024. We are excited that all of LEA Chapters will have exclusive rights to host their own Film Premiere before the worldwide public release.

The New School documentary series captures the stories of exceptional Australian and New Zealand educational institutions as they transition away from traditional industrial education models. At the heart of their mission is the belief in placing students wellbeing at the core of learning, preparing them for an ever-evolving global landscape.

Through showcasing innovative programs and learning environments, the New School series offers inspiring examples of deep learning, inquiry-based education, and student agency. It poses a compelling question: If given the opportunity to create a new school, what would it entail?

If you are interested in attending a New School 2 - What is the Purpose of Schooling? film premiere, please contact our team and we will assist you in attending a Film Premiere Chapter Event.

The New School Documentary Series is produced by Moonshine Agency.
