A Complete change will help distressed teens.
Distressed Students 15-17 will find success with Aerie Tech.
We start the Earie Tech College experience with a "Time Out" school camp term, combining practical tech skills learning with essential SACE subjects, living in a river school ship with a team of 16 students and their teachers. We reset the student's learning pathway, THEN we call for a family decision, STAY OR LEAVE Aerie.
IF STAY, Aerie Tech offers a 4 year residential Progression to complete SACE with essentials and to start River Tech VET certificate courses, resident backpacker team style, on other school ships based at Mannum Slipway as home port. Advanced students will have the opportunity to earn with River Tourism industry business skills working the boats. Aerie Lifestyle is backpacker to build team mentality and self help to keep living costs as low as possible.
Aerie VET Certificate progression to Cert 5 can be:
- Advanced VET Shipbuilding in the Submarine Project, Port Adelaide or
- Murray region Tourism, hospitality, care services industry.

Murray River wilderness backwaters for brain reset
Canoeing the tranquil wetland off the main channel of the Murray River provides a brain reset. The water is glassy and stained a deep, reflective tea-tree green. Australian Murray-Darling Basin waters are our temporary home.
THE PURPOSE OF "TIME OUT" IS A COMPLETE REMOTE CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE.
Kayaking or canoeing with partners is our major daily physical exercise.
Swimming is an acceptable alternative.
