ABOUT US

World of Minecraft is the first of its kind! It's an exciting new community where Minecraft enthusiasts can come together to learn, create, build and play. And on top of this, we are already being recognised as a leader in education by WINNING the 2024 & 2023 Highly Commended Award for Disability Inclusion, WINNING the 2022 Local Business Awards in Educational Services as well as a FINALIST in numerous categories by 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Local Business Awards, Small Business Champion Awards, Small Business Women's Champion Awards, Western Sydney Women's Awards, and by the Australian Ladies in Business Initiative Awards.

What makes us so amazing? We are real teachers who can excite children into learning without them even realising it. Our World of Minecraft learning experience is specific to suit the learning needs of neurodivergent children and those who have a deep passion of Minecraft. In addition to learning how to code, students learn to be creative, use critical thinking skills, develop soft skills, and learn how to collaborate using gamification. Our students return every term (or every year to each camp) and the feedback we receive from parents is just sensational!

WHY MINECRAFT?

Minecraft plays a critical role in a child's learning. Within Australia, Minecraft plays a critical role in students achieving learning outcomes as set in the Australian Curriculum. This is achieved, not only via Minecraft Education, but all Minecraft versions as they permit students to learn how to code using block-based coding, python and JavaScipt. Additionally, Minecraft helps children learn problem-solving techniques, learn how to read and write as well as help them solve math problems.

Minecraft teaches children how to manage resources, the benefits of teamwork, and learn about history and geography. Most importantly, Minecraft can help to improve a child’s confidence and can improve a child’s creativity and imagination. Noelene has created endless resources and training modules for teachers in Australia and New Zealand to effectively implement Minecraft in their teaching programs.

All of the programs that are run by World of Minecraft are unique as they are developed by a Microsoft appointed Global Minecraft Mentor (Noelene Callaghan). Whilst our programs are designed to help students learn to code and develop their creativity skills, building friendships and having fun is the premise of all classes! All staff are double vaccinated and contain a current working with children's check (we are all in fact teachers). We also cater for students with special needs and make sure that their experience with us is just as amazing as everyone else's!
