| Abstract | This paper documents an exciting but tentative and vulnerable effort to create a quality and sustainable partnership between a small community school in rural Australia and a university faculty of education. A university lecturer and pre-service teachers work with a non-traditional community school to create a garden for the arts, a short-term project that evolves into a long term partnership. An increasingly interdependent community of school-and-university engage in a shared struggle to defeat the metaphorical snake in their garden of sustainable community engagement: the school faces closure. The boundaries, ontologies and philosophies of school and university become fluid creating a third space in which trust and rapport evolve into a quality partnership. Third space is the conceptual lens through which the interactions and increasing interdependence of community school and university are observed and documented over a 27 month period during which the community school is established, relationships of mutual trust between school and university grow, and the partners strive against increasing government opposition to ensure the school’s survival.
