Study Technology, used by Athena school, has been criticised globally as pseudoscientific Scientology indoctrination that denies learning disabilities, suppresses critical thinking and lacks credible research backing.

How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government?
In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.
