How we can support you 

As Case Managers, we form part of a team combining parents and schools and community services who support young people who have disengaged from school, or are at risk of disengaging from school, to learn life skills and achieve their SACE or other vocational qualifications.

Within a positive and adaptive environment, barriers to education are addressed through in-class support, mentoring, parent engagement, conflict resolution and links to other community services. 

 

We offer 

  • Support to identify needs

    We work with students, parents and schools to identify strengths, special interests and areas where a young person needs support.

  • Support to develop a flexible learning and transition portfolio

    This can provide access to subjects of specific interest and include learning options outside of school, such as further education, training or apprenticeships.

  • Blended learning

    We offer a blend of school based, outreach and learning centre models that are based on the DOE model and include elements of accredited learning.

  • Access to other Baptist Care SA services

    As part of a Baptist Care SA FLO enrolment, young people engage with other Baptist Care SA services such as Adventure Services, Urban Education and mental health support, in keeping with the DOE model.
