The Manoora Campus is located in urban area of Manoora, just 5 kilometers from Cairns CBD. Our young people come from a diverse range of locations and are welcomed, regardless of their background. Our young people are required to be disengaged from traditional educational settings, agree to our Young Person Agreement, and are motivated to learn in an adult-focused environment. The current cohort reflects a rich mix of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.

As John Dewey once said, “Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.”
