![]() ![]() Generation of confident, creative and capable young people they have the potential to be. The focus has always been to help prepare young people for the modern world that they are entering and will be the future leaders of, but with a greater appetite for the broad skills the challenge develops, illuminate Education has positioned our education programs to be focused on activating the next While the business and challenge was originally designed to help young people see opportunities and gain experience in what it is like to start and run their own small business, the conditions created in the challenge resulted in a highly engaging learning environment meant that students were developing the skills required for the modern working world. However, as these programs have been delivered and illuminate Education now engages with stakeholders across the country and the world, the true impact of the challenge has been seen and this has been shown in the shift of the types of programs that illuminate Education Australia delivers currently. Taking a week off from his full-time role in retail at the time, Adam pulled together everyone from his networks to make the program something of value for the students, and it was not long before he was having conversations with stakeholders to ensure the challenge would be run regularly and expanded to reach more students.įrom these beginnings, illuminate Education Australia has remained based in Launceston, but the impact of the programs have expanded much further, with challenges run across Australia and influence internationally in education and enterprise education, helping more young people to believe in tomorrow today. With this foundation, Adam Mostogl wrote the first illuminate Challenge and delivered this in 2011 to 38 students from 4 schools across Launceston, Tasmania. Those who did business subjects as electives in schools where this was offered learned a lot about larger businesses, but when around 95% of Tasmanian businesses employ less than 5 staff, most of the insights were not relevant to the businesses these students would either start or work in. While this was occurring, Adam was invited to join a youth taskforce which looked at helping students make the leap from full-time study to full-time work, and from his interactions here, he realised that every single young person in Tasmania was leaving school without the knowledge of how small business works. This meant that while Adam was being paid to film or make them sound good, most did not know how to invoice or charge for their time. ![]() Having started his first business at the age of 18, which was an audio-visual production business that ran live music concerts as well as a film production agency, Adam met a lot of young people who did not have the strong business knowledge to convert their passion and skills in the creative fields into an income stream. ![]() Many parents are employed at such neighboring institutions as the University of California, San Diego, the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation, nearby biotechnology firms in Sorrento Valley, and high tech giants like Qualcomm, all of which influence the high standards of education and expectation at San Dieguito.While illuminate Education Australia first started delivering programs in 2011, the reason for Adam Mostogl to start the business started many years before. From surfers to scientists, from beach cottages to high tech towers, this district represents a broad range on the socio-economic spectrum. Families from all parts of the world are attracted to our inviting climate and exceptional learning institutions, enriching our schools with a wide variety of languages and cultural backgrounds. Students from those districts matriculate through our middle schools and high schools, with the exception of those from the Rancho Santa Fe School District, who begin here as freshmen.īooming population growth and demographic diversity have characterized the North County and SDUHSD in the past 15 years. SDUHSD serves students from five elementary school districts in North County: Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff, Solana Beach, and Del Mar.
