Testimonials
“I found Hubbard’s to be a perfect fit for me. Rather than feeling stretched thin across multiple subjects at my last school, I was able to focus all my energy on only 3 ATAR subjects within the year. Not having to complete assignments throughout the year and being able to focus with the support of my teachers on my end of year exams, made me feel quite confident.”

“Danni enjoys excellent relationships with her Hubbard’s teachers, completes all her assigned homework and studies diligently to get the grades she needs to achieve her dream... Hubbard’s is all about supporting our young people to get to where they want to go.”

“Only going to school for 3 days a week has given me time to study during the week on those spare 2 days. I believe this has been crucial for my mental health and wellbeing.”
James, Student
“Thank you for saving my daughter's life. After 2 years at Hubbards, she's now a much more confident and articulate young woman than we ever thought she'd be. Thank you for taking her in, supporting her and encouraging her to feel valued and helping her to discover her own talents”

Samuel, Student
“Millie’s experience here has shaped her beautifully. She has so much confidence and is so happy with where she’s at. I don’t think she would have got that at mainstream school”

“Couldn’t ask for a better senior school; the teachers are beyond supportive and it is such an incredible environment to be in.”
Maddy, Student
“Hubbard’s has been one of the most positive experiences for my son. He turned up, he listened and he learned. He made friends and he respected and liked his teachers and the principal. All of this was not his experience when he was at the main stream school. I am very grateful for this – I am comforted by your involvement in my sons education and I would recommend you with the highest praise for your kindness, your compassion and your skill of communication and knowledge. Thank you so very much from all our family.”

Lachlan, Student
“Our son has had a wonderful experience at Hubbard’s. For him, the mainstream schooling system wasn't a great fit. We found that he was much more suited to the Hubbard’s system, which in our view is more like university - he enrolled in a smaller number of subjects, which he engaged with intensively through longer lessons and in smaller classes, then sat the assessment at the end of the year. This meant that during the year, his focus was on learning, rather than assessment. He was well prepared for the end of year assessment because at Hubbard’s, the revision process is scaffolded and timetabled. Had he not passed a subject, it would not have been the end of the world...he could have taken the subject again the following year, while still moving his education forward by taking other new subjects on. As it turned out, he passed all his subjects (Physics, Maths B and English), having skipped year 10 and barely surviving a disastrous year 9! This year he is taking Biology, Maths A and Chemistry and he is looking forward to going to university in 2020. He has made some great friends at Hubbard’s and thoroughly enjoys going to school - he doesn't miss uniforms, assemblies and the in-house extracurricular activities that he left behind at his former school, and is happier, having regained his academic and social self-confidence. We are very grateful that our son could access an alternative to the mainstream model and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. And a bonus, in our view, is that the teaching and learning is not technology-centric: some might say this is old-fashioned, but in our experience there are a lot less distractions and it’s easier for students to follow the curriculum/it's less confusing.”

“Great school, great staff, great curriculum and a great experience.”
Harrison, Student
“My son struggled at school but thrived at Hubbard's. He excelled beyond our expectations and is off to study Economics in Canada later this year. That was his goal and Hubbard’s helped him achieve it. The teachers are so experienced and invested in the success of the students. The classes are small which allows a more individual student focused environment. They provided extra help when needed without hesitation. The admin staff were wonderful people who communicated really well. It's a great school and for students that like flexibility, it's a perfect fit.”
