Our Ideal Client

Our ideal client is any Australian school which meets all the following:

  1. Excellence is considered essential.
  2. Leadership has a burning desire to effect change and is willing to let go of some control and engage other members of the community.
  3. Leadership is willing to acknowledge that like all organisations, communities and individuals, no school is perfect and that there is always room for improvement.
  4. The school can support the ongoing sustainability of Great Schools Australia by having the ability to pay our fees OR the school leadership has a ‘can do’ attitude that they will raise the funds -– with or without support from the Great Schools Fund. (As regards the idea of raising the funds, some schools may choose to do this in combination with parents, students and/or the local community.)
