Innovative Education Consultants: Alwyn Poole

After being involved in education for ten years, travelling to view schools and completing further study, I could see a need for a better way of providing for Y7 to Y10 students.  This resulted in designing, planning and starting a private school in Auckland to put into practice all we had learnt and valued: Mt Hobson Middle School in 2002. It is now Mt Hobson Academy and serves Years 10 - 13 in Auckland and Years 1 - 13 through a nationwide online school. (www.mthobson.school.nz) Other schools use of superb curriculum (please ask!)

In 2013/14 we were able to open a further two schools (South Auckland Middle School and Middle School West Auckland) to provide education for more students and families. All three schools operate a Project Based Curriculum alongside subject teaching. The results have been simply outstanding.

Generation Skip is about introduce great NZ sportspeople to new generations. Books Aloud is encouraging literacy in the home.
