Research indicates that with personalised learning students’ attendance increases, they pay more attention and are better engaged in the learning experience.

“There’s been a lot of talk about Gonski education funds and how they’ll stop thousands of Australian children falling behind at school. But one man believes a bike could be the simplest solution. Chris Bonnor is from Big Picture Schools and the Centre for Policy Development”
