Building a resilient and responsive learning community for disengaged young people A partnership approach Presented by Louisa Ellum & Simone Dawson

Today’s workshop Understanding the regional, provider and individual education needs of at risk, disengaged and vulnerable young people What does a partnership approach offer to education providers and young people? Working from a big picture, regional approach to enable good practice at a provider level Building resilient and responsive practice through outward facing approaches.

Our partnership Inner southern region of metropolitan Melbourne Flexible Engagement and Learning Network (FELN) Bayside, Glen Eira, Kingston Local Learning and Employment Network (BGK LLEN) – equivalent to ‘Partnership Brokers’ Working together to create a system and landscape of education provision for our most at risk young people

Understanding the ‘life worlds’ of our young people Our reality: Disengagement from school Lack of broad education and training provision Significant mental health issues Substance abuse Pockets of extreme poverty Homelessness/ couch surfing Our challenge: To build a resilient and responsive network of providers to support our young people’s educational and life worlds needs.

This is our local reality of non- mainstream school provision Holmesglen Vocational College 16+ Intermediate & Senior VCAL (Moorabbin) Sandybeach CGEA 15+ (Moorabbin) and IMPACT engagement program 15+ (Sandringham) SkillsPlus Intermediate & Senior CVCAL 15+ (Cheltenham) Oakwood School program 12+ (Noble Park) LEEP - Foundation to Senior VCAL (Chelsea)

What is your local reality? Alternative to mainstream school provision? Engagement of ‘Partnership Brokers’? Understanding of the ‘life worlds’ of our young people? Community supporters of young people at risk? Opportunities for partnerships cross sector? Opportunities for a regional approach or network?

Developing partnerships at both regional and provider levels Partnerships never look, act and function in the same way. We need to consider the real nature of the partnerships we are establishing and what the real outcomes will be: For the students For the education providers For the partnering agency/agencies For the community as a whole.

Creating holistic educational opportunities through partnerships Welfare and well being support Volunteer opportunities Piloting initiatives and ideas Seeking resources and funding Strengthening relationships with schools Professional development for trainers, facilitators and teachers Support with pathways and career development

Being aware of our communication

A provider’s approach - SkillsPlus Our Mission is to improve the life options of disadvantaged individuals through employment and learning opportunities.

Youth Education “I never though that I could achieve what I have since I have been at SkillsPlus; I think I could try anything.” Fabien, VCAL Student We offer three key qualifications to our young people: Certificate I in Work Education Certificate II in General Education for Adults (CGEA) Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL)

Partnerships are the key… To enable every student to have an appropriate educational experience and have success, organisations need to be outward facing and engage with the community for support and build strong relationships. Know your expertise – know your limitations…

Mapping your reality What steps can you now take to: 1.Develop a local or regional approach to building a resilient and responsive learning community for young people? 2.Understand and respond to your young people’s life worlds needs through partnerships? 3.Understand your own expertise and limitations and use this to build a network of supporters? 4.Be outward facing and seek partnerships to build a holistic educational experience for your young people?

Questions? and thank you…
