Lots of interesting people and very friendly.

Bullying

It's not only kids that are bullies - quite often there are teachers within the schools that bully as well.
They have never left the system - gone to school, then Uni/teacher's college and straight back to school - so they know how it all works.

Melbourne conference

Well, planning is well underway for the Melbourne Middle Years Schooling conference which will be held at the end of Term 3. Those who are planning it/presenting at it are dedicated to bringing about change in the existing mainstream education system and sharing some exciting ways of educating our young adolescents.

There are changes happening in the education system - there is a groundswell of teachers and students who are ready for the change and can no longer wait for the rest to catch up.
A small core group of early Indigo's have been carrying the energy for some time and are now starting to gather together to meet and plan for the future.
A new century has dawned and it may mean that the label 'indigo' is no longer relevant to the students of today that need support - what is most important, is that they have a cohort of supportive and vocal adults to help them facilitate the new paradigms.

Indigohub

Indigo Hub was an initiative of a Melbourne based group of practitioners, parents, educators and Indigo children and adults.

It began as a supportive net link in January 2005 of diverse, compassionate people who utilised a wellness approach to health and development.

The core group aimed to provide resources, education and care dedicated to develop and empower parents and children to express their unique gifts in life.
