St. Thomas Principal Meets Academy of Entrepreneurs: A Groundbreaking Step for the Future of High School Entrepreneurship

We’re thrilled to share a monumental moment in shaping the future of entrepreneurial education in Australia. This week, the Principal of St. Thomas Catholic College met with the Academy of Entrepreneurs team to discuss the rollout of the new Grade 11–12 government curriculum, focused on entrepreneurship and business.


Congratulations to St. Thomas for being selected by the Department of Education to pilot this innovative curriculum. Your leadership in education and commitment to real-world learning is truly commendable.

This is more than just a meeting—it’s a pivotal step in ensuring that high school students are equipped with the mindset, skills, and tools to thrive in an ever-evolving global economy. By embedding entrepreneurship into the senior curriculum, we’re not just teaching business—we’re empowering young people to become changemakers, job creators, and purpose-driven leaders.


Why This Matters for Students:

  • It bridges the gap between education and the real world.

  • It fosters problem-solving, leadership, creativity, and resilience.

  • It prepares students to build impactful ventures, not just careers.


At the Academy of Entrepreneurs, we believe the best way to learn business is by building one. And we’re excited to collaborate with schools like St. Thomas to bring this philosophy into classrooms across Australia.


To the incredible educators, policymakers, and youth leaders shaping this journey—thank you. Let’s continue to innovate, collaborate, and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs together.


Here’s to transforming education—and transforming lives.

With gratitude and excitement,



 Paula Mills

 Founder & CEO, Academy of Entrepreneurs
