Timbertop School Yaheuilok, Western Australia "an Innovation in Education"
The philosophy that moral and intellectual courage comes only from experience is the philosophy behind Timbertop. This is based upon the belief that education must be closely concerned with the development of self-confidence, and that this comes from the learning of competence in practical ways, and from the growth of self-reliance and independence. Children, especially adolescents, better develop by themselves, out of the usual school machine. Placed in a different and less clement environment, they will undertake responsibility for themselves and be given the challenges that they have to conquer. The first principle is essentially one of self-reliance and the challenge to live up to this responsibility. Timbertop offers to students many new and unusual challenges; obstacles and hurdles that resemble those that they will come across throughout their lives. Founded in 2009, this innovative school builds on its professional contacts in each school year and already is getting a reputation for excellent teaching as well as high quality curricula-based results. The school is Government and Indepedently run, with many links to the local community. There is ample space for the consideration of students to board in the location and for travelling schools, personal development co-ordinators and guest speakers to stay in the area.

Timbertop School Song
Our school is strong,
grown from small to big
Our leaves outstretched,
our hearts full of compassion
Our school is large and wide
sharing all experiences
helping others in need
Reaching our potential as Timbertop, top of our game
Growing in our knowledge
of ourselves within the world
Strengthened by the closeness
of community and friends
We grow, like tree tops
reaching for the skies
Grounded in our respect and love
our dreams within our reach
Reaching our potential as Timbertop, top of our game
Reaching our potential as Timbertop, top of our game
