While most students return to classrooms next week, the school year began weeks ago for eCalrossy students from Lord Howe Island to White Cliffs, who started 2026 with their first residential in the second week of January.
The residential marked both an essential academic checkpoint and a positive, social start to the year, bringing students together on campus for hands-on curriculum learning, connection with teachers, and time to build friendships — setting the tone for a confident year of learning ahead.
That early start comes as eCalrossy records its strongest enrolment numbers to date, with 46 students from Years 5 to 9, including 22 new students, reflecting growing demand from families seeking flexible, high-quality education pathways. Designed and delivered by Calrossy Anglican School, the program continues to support students whose circumstances make traditional on-campus schooling less accessible.
Record enrolment numbers in 2026 have positioned eCalrossy as one of the fastest-growing distance education programs in the nation, reflecting a rising demand from families seeking flexible, high-quality schooling options.
Principal Mark Lewis said the program was created by the school to ensure students and families were never limited by circumstance.
“eCalrossy was intentionally designed to support families who need a different educational option — without compromising on quality teaching, wellbeing or connection,” Mr Lewis said.
“We understand that learning looks different for every child. eCalrossy allows students to remain part of a genuine school community, with real teachers, real structure and strong relationships, while learning from home.”
The program follows the NSW curriculum and operates on a structured school-day timetable, with live online classes delivered by specialist teachers. Students are supported with a school-provided MacBook, dedicated IT assistance and regular opportunities for interaction with peers and staff.
A distinctive feature of the program is its three compulsory residential weeks each year, which bring students together on campus for hands-on learning, wellbeing activities and community connection — reinforcing a strong sense of belonging.
Mr Lewis said the continued growth of eCalrossy reflects a broader shift in how families are approaching education.
“Families are increasingly seeking flexibility alongside strong academic foundations and pastoral care,” he said. “eCalrossy offers that balance — a values-driven Christian education delivered in a way that meets students where they are.”
