Our primary purpose - education and training of young people

SACE entry Year 11 or 12

VET progression - Cert.3 to Diploma

The Two Year SACE is our entry-level.

Many students see the traditional high school Academic program or their living arrangements as too difficult and not part of their dream.

They jump out because they are unable to find success or are bored with the pace and discipline of the normal classroom. In many cases, their home living situation is too disruptive for success. For many, State care is a disaster.

VET progression - Cert.3 to Diploma

Residential School offering Vocational Education and Training is a much better way forward for many of the exceptional students who do not achieve success in their High School or having trouble at home.

We aim to attract the exceptional from the normal day school classes in high school or out of home care to a new home and school before they finally decide to jump out of education and sometimes life.

Secondary purpose is to create a collegiate resort community

Like eagles, some birds live best in adventures away from the common flock.

Our Adventure Challenge Learning programs are designed for different young people 16-24, the solitary eagles who have not found success in high schools or are having problems at home and plan to leave. We also welcome those who have been taken into State Care and need help to move forward.

Our SACE-VET training and entrepreneurial business incubator will provide them with a different rewarding future.

We start at Victor Harbor and expand into Murray River Resort properties and boats.

These successful exceptional young people jumped out of their high school.

The comfort and strength of the Community provides support

We will help them follow their dream flight.

Our Collegiate Community and its students are sharing in, researching and building a wide range of small business opportunities in tourism, hospitality, care services, and river environment activities.

As the entrepreneurial skills of our students develop through our training, we support them in developing their businesses. Eventually, they leave our Collegiate Community nest and fly their businesses alone.

Our community remains a home base if needed to lick wounds & regroup. They may even bring their own eaglets back to our Aerie. We are there for the long flight.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men.

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Omitted, all the voyage of their life.

Is bound in shallows and miseries." Brutus to Cassius in "Julius Caesar"

How is all this possible for these Community Resort Campuses?

ANCOM on Murray Inc. our Foundation Charity is a tax-exempt educational charity. Registered as a school, it will be entitled to Tax Deductible Gift Status and to receive grant funding for education, training and other supportive community or environmental care purposes.

Community Family members share in these benefits.

Together we can move mountains.

One person with a shovel can not move much.

Many small investments by families and corporates will create a very attractive Collegiate Resorts Community.

The Collegiate Community Board offers Financial Members only, the Loan Licence to Occupy investment arrangement (LLtO) used by most major University Residences and Aged Care Resorts.

These investment loans are in minimum amounts of $100 with no limit to the number of LLtO's held by a member. The loan funds are managed by the Board in a common capital pool, specifically for the purchase of assets and are not tied to specific asset security.

This fund is audited and reported annually as a requirement of Government Charities Supervision through ACNC.

The LLtO's are negotiable within the Community

Capital invested in LLtO of Community assets can be recovered through the resale of licence to other members or Community buyback if or when needed.

A safe place to park capital for future use while saving losses in rent $$$.

Member's equity investment also assists with access to Commercial borrowing.

ANCOM ON MURAY Inc. will hold the school registration, the RTO and property assets. Each campus will have its own name and specific education, training, care services, environmental conservation and family holiday focus.

Questions and Answers

What kind of school is this? (Entrepreneurial is a good description.)

This private residential school, located in holiday resorts, has been formed as a registered educational charity by a group of teachers who recognise that many young people in the age group 16-24yrs have not found success in the existing school system. Our program is designed to help this group. We offer full-time residential living and learning, for young people interested in a future in tourism, hospitality, cookery, adventure recreation and care services using existing commercial business properties. There is no separation in place of home and work. Students live a balanced life within a very supportive community without the need to travel between home and work.

In effect, our Community is a large family business where everyone is part of the business, and, as a collegiate family, we all help each other.

Where and when is the school opening?

The Apollon Motel in Victor Harbor is our first campus. This is an existing commercial holiday resort business hosting our school and starting in February 2022. Other campuses will be opened in other holiday resort properties, especially along the Murray River as the college expands. All our campuses will be at existing holiday resorts, some with care services business as part of their operations.

Why the name Aerie College and who can enroll?

An Aerie is an eagle's nest. Eagles are magnificent birds who live and hunt for their food high above the other birds. They are selective hunters. They only take sufficient live food for their immediate needs. The Aerie is a nest built high away from danger, where the adult eagles look after their young. All our staff are like eagles, and our campuses are like aeries. Our staff are all high flyers in their careers, taking only what they need for living and taking good care of their young.

Any "Good Person" can enrol. We know many young people have not found success among the common birds in normal high school, for many reasons. We can help them strengthen their wings for a strong and successful flight path outside of the common flock. Any person who would like to be like the eagle can join us, finding and flying high on a different path, taking only what they need from others and caring for their family. We need to be sure you are a good person before we accept you into our collegiate family.

What will it cost to attend Aerie College Residential?

Rent or Own a safe place to sleep and call home.

Students or families can rent their student bed or purchase a licence to occupy their bed.

Renting is more expensive than owning the licence over time. Beds in two share rooms are more expensive than in 4 share rooms. At the end of your stay with ANCOM, you can sell your LLtO bed to other incoming students. If you look after your bed and room well, you should be able to get all your LLtO investment back. Look at this page for details of LLtO.

Food and general living costs.

Bulk purchase savings make our general living costs within the limits of your youth and living-away-from-home allowance. Everyone helps with house chores, the preparation and service of food as part of your training. You will help in the operation of the resort business to reduce your living costs. Like a large family, we will all operate the large tourist resort and care services business. Your time helping can pay your fees. If you are not prepared to help with your time, you will be asked to pay for the time of other students to do your share of the work. This is all part of your business studies.

School fees.

Government grants will contribute to the costs of your basic schoolwork and teachers salaries. While the cost of learning in a classroom box is very low compared with the cost of outdoor learning, there will be some elective learning activities that will be more expensive than others. We will keep the costs as low as possible. We encourage sponsorship and scholarships to assist worthy students.

You can earn while at college.

We will establish an employment agency in the college to assist our students to find some outside paid casual work. As you develop your skills, you can build your own business to take elsewhere. We will be there to help you build your business.

You learn how to make money from providing high-quality services. This is what it is all about. Hospitality and care services are not just jobs, they are a way of life, if done well, you will be well rewarded, sometimes in money, sometimes in just feel good. High-quality service is well paid.

What is it like living and learning at Aerie College?

Learning time at Aerie College is "all the time". You will be learning to live a well-balanced life of work time, playtime and sleep time. (Roughly 8+8+8 hrs per day + a rest or time out day each week). The maintenance of an activity log, with photos of activities, is part of your regular tasks. Some normal living and study meeting tasks need to be done at certain fixed times. Other tasks are to be done in flexible time. Time is needed simply for enjoyment and pleasure and good sleep time is essential for good health. You learn about your circadian rhythm.

Time is very valuable. We do not waste it. You must keep your time management responsibilities punctual. A little early for every commitment is good. Even one minute late for a group event is bad.

There are no bells or sirens. Your day starts at sun up. Your sleep time starts about 8 hours before sunrise.

Can I get qualifications, like SACE, Certificates, Diploma or degree?

YES. Part of your work is planning your flight path and the things you will need to know and be able to do to find success on your journey. Pieces of paper, like the SACE, Certificates, Diploma or Degree are simply signs you can show to other people about your flight path. You will know in yourself what your successes have been. That is the important thing. You need to know what you are good at and can be confident in doing them. There is no limit to your flight path.

How long can I stay with the Aerie College Community?

As long as you want on need, we hope as a member for life.

On joining Aerie College you will be joining a Collegiate Community. You will meet and make good friends. You can remain a member of the Collegiate community for life. You can come in and leave when you want or need. Aerie Community will become your home base for support when and if you need it. Some colleges call this "alumni" meaning a common group of people who have been and remain part of a learning team.

We ask that you give your full-time commitment to your time with us. Work hard, play hard and sleep well. The student leaders of the community will let you know if you are not "Pulling your fair share".

The saying "Shape up or ship out" will apply at Aerie College. The "Coloured Card system" will let you know how your flight path is building in the eyes of the other students and teachers. Beware the Red Card.

You are free to leave our community at any time. We hope you will remain a sponsor member of our collegiate community. There will come a time when you will feel that you can give something back to the community to help other young people who are like what you were.

Is there a student uniform?

There is no uniform for the first 10 weeks incubation program. This is time for you to look at our community learning and living lifestyle. We look at you to consider your eagle potential (good person). Then you and the principal decide to "stay or leave".

YES - - - IF you survive the first 10 weeks of incubation and you graduate, you then have the right to wear a uniform. It sends a message. "This is not just me, we are all of us." Most strong teams wear a uniform to show that they are a formidable group. Think of sports teams. You will be part of a unique team, capable of great things. A smart uniform is a sign that you are more than a single person and your group can get good things done.

On Final graduation, you are presented with an Eagle Lapel Pin, which you can display with pride. This can stay with you for life. Yes you will also receive some paper.

My life is a big mess now. Can Aerie College help me?

YES. We welcome all potential eagles to try our lifestyle. No matter what your life is like now, you must be a potentially good person because you are still alive, so it can only get better. Our Collegiate community is very supportive. No matter what your problems are, our team can and will help you BUT you must also help yourself by "going with the flow". There is no value in fighting what we do to help you. You may not like it BUT just play the game with us, with your best abilities showing during your incubation time. Then we all win.

What about my baby?

Your baby or young child is welcome, assuming you aspire to be an Eagle parent. Eagles parents are incredibly good at getting things done. OK. The baby may have been a mistake but you must make the best of it. A baby can be one of the great joys of life or it can be a burden. It depends on your point of view. Your first 10 weeks of Aerie College incubation, with the baby on campus, will tell us if you will be able to become an Eagle Mother or Father. Being an eagle parent is not easy. Being two, happy together, can be fun. We can help you through the tough times.

We recognise that some parents just do not care. If it is just you and baby, it will be a tough gig, but there will be plenty of uncles, aunties and even Grandees around to help. We are a big family and family members all look after each other. You just have to show us who you are during the first 10 weeks. Then you chat with Principal Bouc about the "Stay" or "Leave" decision.

What is the deal if I get hot angry and cause trouble?

A display of hot uncontrolled anger is embarrassing. We all get angry sometimes. We must learn to control it. Hot uncontrolled anger is not good. Go outside. Take deep breaths. Calm down. Then come back in and talk. Carry cold anger. Don't just let it go. Keep it for when you can use it well. There must have been a good reason for your anger. Go back and talk it out when you have control of your fury. Cold, controlled fury is powerful. Use it with care. It is all part of learning and we are all together to help each other.

If you do not like what we do, you cause conflict with our people, or you get very hot angry, you must talk with each other to resolve the conflict. Words fly with the wind. Once said they fly away. Cold fury is usually well remembered but is gone with the wind and you are unable to read it to bring it back. Do not write it down.

If you really want your messages to be remembered, we use E-cards. Be careful what you write in emails. Think before you write. Review before you send. Perhaps it is better to talk after all. Think about how to make your words as a sh-- sandwich if you decide to write it down.

Your Academy Masters must get a copy of all these emails so they can help solve problems before they get too bad. You should not ignore any e-cards that come to you. A response is always required. Resolving conflict is one of our learning tasks.

A green e-card GEC = I think what you did or said was exceptional. These are like diamonds. Use them only in exceptional circumstances as overuse diminishes their value.
A yellow e-card YEC = I did not like what you did or said. Remember, a copy goes to your academy Master and is on file as strike one. Be careful with these.
No.3 YEC = strike 3 = trouble. We use a student peer managed "Court Hearing" like a "Law Court". A team of senior students serving as a jury will help resolve conflict if students cannot do it without help. You will learn about our system of resolving conflict early in your time with us. Like the calm before a storm, both AM & P wait and watch. It is possible students can resolve the matter either with a series of e-messages or face to face, without staff help.
If a disruption is really bad, a red e-card (REC) is sent by the Academy Master (AM) or the Teacher (T) to the Principal (P) who will resolve the matter. The principal does not lose his temper and does not often show anger. Even then it is just a quick flash just to stop something. You will be welcomed to the meeting with him. He will help you talk through the reasons for your anger and loss of control. The principal's decision will be "Stay with agreed terms or leave".

What will happen if I do not do what I am reasonably asked to do?

We are eagles. We all do what needs to be done. Every person has the right to set their own flight path. If you do not like being an eagle then you have the right to leave us. You simply tell the principal that you are resigning from the eagle team. Good Luck. We hope you will not become a chicken or a turkey. They usually have a short life.
