There’s a reason that ‘School Sux’ is scrawled on notebooks all over the world.
For many young people, the traditional school system feels rigid, impersonal, oppressive and overwhelming. In a world based on bell curves, those who think, learn or experience things differently can start to feel like they’re the problem.
Well if anything sux, we think it’s that.
Jabiru Community College was established in 2011 to give young people more choice about what they learn, and more control over how they go about it. Ours is a safe, creative learning culture where diversity is respected, individuality is celebrated and personal agency matters.
We believe education should build confidence, curiosity and the skills to keep learning for life. Through strong relationships, personalised programs and learning that feels relevant, young people can build futures that feel like their own.
We won’t pile on the pressure, but our expectations will always be high. Because we know that everyone is capable of their own kind of greatness.
This is school created around you.

Our Elders
At Jabiru Community College, our Elders are the heartbeat of our community. They are our most vital teachers, guiding our college with courage, curiosity and deep cultural wisdom.
As the keepers of history and tradition, our Elders ensure our learning journey remains grounded in a continuous connection to Country.
We are honored to walk alongside Uncle Alex, Uncle John, Uncle David and other Elders as they lead us toward a future of healing and belonging.
Our Board of Directors
As a proudly independent school, Jabiru Community College is governed by our Board of Directors, Community Learning Limited. While our Co-Principals lead the day-to-day life of the school, the Board steers the ship with strategic direction, financial oversight, legal and regulatory compliance and risk management.
Their commitment ensures that we continue to operate with integrity, stability and a clear focus on delivering the best possible experience for our young people.
