About the organisation

Good to Great Schools Australia (GGSA) supports schools to transition from Poor to Fair, Fair to Good and Good to Great. We do this by attending to three important practices identified in high performing school systems: Great Teachers, Effective Instruction and Every Child. Good to Great Schools Australia believe that a child’s prospects are not determined by their ethnicity, location or socio-economic status.
