HistoryThe school was established in 1969, when the then Woodley Preparatory School was purchased by the founders.[2] It was one of a number of alternative schools that pioneered the application in Australia of the ideas of progressive educationalist A. S. Neill.[3] The school commenced with 116 students in January 1970: 72 in the preschool and 44 in the primary. The school expanded to include a second adjacent building in 1971.[2] In 2003 the school had 71 students;[6] in 2004 this had grown to 88 students[4] in 2006 the school had 93 students.[5] The Commonwealth government uses a measure of socio-economic status of independent schools to help determine their funding; Currambena has scored highly on this scale (meaning its students live in high socio-economic status locations).[6] As an alternative school, Currambena experienced external pressures from increasing standardisation of curricula,[7] and from reforms to student assessment.[4] Representatives of the school were prominent in criticising developments in education policy such as the introduction of national standardised tests.[1][8] Organisation and activitiesThe school is administered by a council comprising six parents and three teachers; it has no school principal.[9] The board is democratic and responsible for curriculum, facilities and employment decisions.[1] The original articles of association stipulated a maximum class size of 25; this was subsequently reduced to 22,[16] with classes split into three age groups.[10] The school emphasises creativity and flexibility in responding to the needs of individual children.[1][11][12] Alumni
