Hughesdale Who's Who
Public Profile
I am a retired school principal and teacher/trainer/consultant on school camping and youth adventure education. I am very concerned about the current dropout rate of high school students, currently 24%.
As a contribution to helping dropout teens to stay in education during their transition years 15-18, I am working on creating a fleet of Houseboat style School ships working as "Cocoons' to reset the thinking of these dropout teens at risk.

Avoca trust
Aerie College and the associated DGR Trust Avoca trust plans to establish a fleet of school ships working the Murray to hold Teens aged 15-18 at risk of education dropout. The SA Law dictates that these young people are required to continue their education. Parents are at risk of a fine if their children drop out of school.

🎨 Richard Crichton
Artist Richard Crichton attended school at Hughesdale before studying at Oakleigh Technical School and later art colleges. His own chronology recalls experimenting with leather dyes, wax and house paint, using materials that were available at home. As a teenager he met Arthur Boyd, who encouraged him and showed him how to use a paint grinder. He went on to formal art training at Caulfield and Melbourne technical colleges. The Hughesdale association is an educational one within an early life marked by both family difficulty and a determined interest in making art.
