Dara School start up & scholarships
Donation protected
Dara School will be the first full time primary school in Australia focused on the unique needs of students who are gifted.
To achieve their potential gifted students need specialised support. Believe it or not many gifted students struggle in mainstream schools, drop out, or fail academically. Often they experience learning difficulties in some areas and excel in others. Gifted students are identified as at risk students. *
To help launch Dara School into 2017 we are seeking help from you.
Meeting our fundraising target will ensure that Dara School starts of 2017 full of energy and vigour and able to keep up with the keen minds of our first students.
But wait, there's more...
You can help us ensure that we support students who need some extra assistance. We believe in social justice, equity and inclusion. We want to establish a scholarship fund to help eligible students to access gifted education at Dara School without finance being a barrier.
Join us in helping gifted students access the specialised education they need to remain engaged and achieve excellence.
