You can't change the path of the SA Gov Schools elephant.
BUT:- SA Gov SAFA can influence a fledging Teen Eagle's path by lending SAFA $$$ to the Avoca Trust school ship Charity to get the Avoca School ships under way. The 1st School ship "Mundoo" is available for purchase and will require some refit for school ship use. Then it will be ready for Teens at risk and fund raising, marketing.
THEN:- The Avoca trust DGR 100% DGR tax deduction for Education about the Murray & SA Coastal waters can help Avoca trust School ships to attract donation investment AND the project can grow with family or Service club funding.
$25,000 is the current capital value of a suitable school ship berth within a typical large houseboat.
EITHER:- DGR gift $25,000 to Club own LOAN berths to help poor family teens.
OR:- Families can DGR invest $25,000 LLto in a bunk for their child and sell it on when not needed.


We plan to purchase "TS Mundoo", initially with Gov. SAFA loan assistance, then with a marketing team to raise DGR Gift funds to create a school ship fleet on the Murray to to help teens 15-17 at risk of dropout. Boat qualified students will help crew Mundoo for functions, marketing & training.
Many of us are retired, still active and enjoy boating. You will already have boating skills and experience. Join our volunteer adult team to help guide and care for our teens at risk. You get to enjoy boating, food and comfortable bunk is provided. Working with young keeps you young.

A teen at risk of dropping out isn't a statistic; dropouts are a missed opportunity for our future workforce. School ships provide the intervention and innovation needed to bridge the gap from crisis to graduation. Your DGR gift doesn't just fund a school—it fuels a turnaround story.
Let’s change the trajectory.
The industrial education system produces two types of casualties:

School failure, group stresses, and bullying causes teen misery.
24% dropout in senior high schools.
Move your older teen to school ships to refresh their lifestyle and happiness.

Enough! ..... I want out of this box.

Do I have to do this? I have better ideas.

Purchase Loan Licence to occupy rights to occupy a safe sleeping space in school ships during their senior high student years. The $25,000 interest is used for rent.
Loan Capital is not lost. Sell your bunk to new students.
Pay only daily living costs, food etc.
TO: Members of parliament or their advisers, stop over-analysing the "why" behind the dropout crisis. Schools are outdated cages to hold young fledging teens 15-17 while parents work. Our kids are drowning in depression and misery caused by large high school cages (zoos) .... Older teens 15-17 need a lifeline, not a lecture from Ancient politicians with 19th Century views of the value of schools. ... They need real experience for fledging time learning (15-17) in small guided residential team groups, not found in the large "child care school cages". ... All they get there is supervision and regurgitation.
Many, clever, "school damaged" children just walk out to prevent their pain. Aerie College offers different, safe, tribal experiential learning coocooned on schoolships.
Parents, BE POSITIVE. Prevent the fine for not sending your child to school. Enrol them with Aerie Timeout school camp.
The cure isn't found in a classroom; it’s found in the wild. ... Real healing happens when teens disconnect from the school noise and reconnect through honest conversation in small teams with professional mentors.
We have the expertise. We have the teachers. The "Cocoon" platforms are available. Now, we need the $1,200,000 sustenance .
By using School Ships , we can "cocoon" these wild teens within the heart of wildness, living on boats, stripped of distractions and surrounded by nature, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we create the "happy now" magic.
