WEA Illawarra also operates an independent non-Government secondary school Novo Education Space, which is regulated by the Commonwealth and State Education Departments and the NSW Educational Standards Authority (NESA). Novo Education Space is a registered, non-denominational, independent school specifically designed for the inclusion of young people who would flourish with the right support in an alternative school environment. We have been operating since 2011 (formerly known as Alesco Illawarra). We offer an alternative education option for young people in Years 9-12 who feel that they are ready and willing to take control of their own learning and their future, but need a different kind of environment to succeed.
