How Landsdale Christian School supports student autonomy and boosts engagement

Located in Western Australia, Landsdale Christian School is a growing K–12 private Christian school dedicated to delivering high-quality education that meets the needs of every learner. Like many schools emerging from the disruptions of the pandemic, Landsdale Christian School were seeking new ways to support students with continuity of learning, whether in the classroom or from home.

Gavin Bowyer, Dean of Years 9-10, shared: 

We were using supplementary platforms that were KLA-specific. The idea of a broader platform was appealing, as it would simplify common language and class routines across the school.

When approached to trial Atomi content tailored to the Western Australian curriculum, the school saw a timely opportunity to explore a more streamlined and flexible solution that could scale across multiple learning areas.

Smooth implementation and scaling success

Initially, Landsdale Christian School began with a small trial, training a few staff members to explore how Atomi could be integrated into various year levels and subjects.

After the initial trial period, we saw many benefits and received positive feedback from the school community at large, which encouraged us to continue to implement more broadly across the High School.

Now, educators and students across HASS, Science and Mathematics regularly use the platform, with HPE and ICT also tapping into Atomi to support learning.

Teachers have embraced the flexibility Atomi provides, particularly when it comes to catering to different student needs and varying circumstances.

It’s a welcome addition to the suite of strategies and resources we use. It’s especially helpful for students who may fall behind or are absent, as there is usually a lesson or video they can watch to catch up.

Fostering independent and engaged learners

One of the standout benefits of Atomi for Landsdale Christian School has been its ability to promote student agency. With access to short, syllabus-aligned video lessons and interactive quizzes, students are empowered to take control of their learning at a pace and style that suits them.

Students appreciate the ability to self-guide and have autonomy over the cadence and delivery method of content.

Beyond revision and exam prep, Atomi has also become a powerful tool for sparking student curiosity and encouraging deeper engagement.

I’ve often had students come to clarify something they’ve learned from an Atomi video. That opens up a learning opportunity that wouldn’t normally be there if they weren’t already interested or challenged by what they saw.

Support for every learning moment

Atomi has proven to be more than just a catch-up tool. For many students, it’s a trusted learning companion, particularly when they want to explore content privately and without fear of failure.

Students enjoy the immediate feedback and the anonymity the platform provides. They can try, fail, and try again without embarrassment or fear of being singled out.

Usage data has also shown just how deeply some students are engaging with the platform.

The sheer quantity of use has been unexpected—many students are in the high hundreds, and some even in the thousands of hours of videos watched and lessons completed in a calendar year.

Adopting a low-barrier, high-impact platform

While Atomi has had a transformative effect on student learning, the platform’s ease of use means it integrates seamlessly into the school’s existing approach. Gavin shared: 

It’s very user-friendly with a low learning curve, but great potential that many students appreciate.

With Atomi’s lessons built specifically for the WA curriculum, teachers know they can trust the content to align with what’s being taught in class.

That’s one of our favourite things about Atomi—it’s bespoke to the current WA syllabus, so it’s immediately useful, and students get real value out of it.

Whether students are revising, catching up, or seeking extra challenge, Atomi provides a flexible, reliable alternative that supports learning from every angle.

It enhances the lessons it’s used in, but more importantly, it gives students, teachers, and parents an alternative when other methods of delivery aren’t as effective or possible in various circumstances.

We’re thrilled that Landsdale Christian School are using Atomi to support content delivery and boost student engagement. We look forward to our continued partnership.
