PROGRAMS

We have co-designed our place-based programs to be holistic and support children and young people as they navigate their education journey and beyond across multiple domains:

 

  • in the home

  • in the neighbourhood and school environment

  • by navigating systems and services

 

This approach is based on the understanding that a young person’s experience of growing up, and how this shapes them, is based on interactions they have in a variety of settings. It is therefore important to provide positive and supportive influences in a proportionately appropriate way to all domains of a young person’s life and at key intersections of their developmental journey. 

 

And we do this with culture at our core.
