A Start in Life support is available to students from the first year of primary school through to completion of tertiary studies.

 

Our Student Support Team works in conjunction with parents/carers, students and educators to develop a tailored plan of support and set learning goals for each student, addressing the barriers they are facing to their education. This support can include:

​

• School essentials – text books, stationery, uniforms, shoes, school fees

• School activities – camps and excursions

• Extra-curricular activities

• IT equipment – computers, printers, internet access

• Tuition and other costs related to education

• Tools of trade and work placement assistance for tertiary students

​

The assistance provided works to both promote educational progression and support student social and emotional wellbeing by:

​

• Building student confidence and self esteem

• Developing organisational skills

• Promoting student engagement

• Promoting parent/carer engagement
