Many families turn their attention to post school options as their child nears graduation from secondary school. Knoxbrooke Achieve could be an option to consider.
Knoxbrooke Achieve is a two-year School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) course. The course runs three days a week over school terms. Knoxbrooke Achieve can be accessed through an NDIS plan or, if a NDIS plan is still forthcoming, Knoxbrooke also offers the course at a subsidised non-NDIS rate.
The Knoxbrooke Achieve course commenced in January 2018 and our students are already making great strides in their learning, enjoying many new experiences and developing life-long friendships.
With a distinct focus on employment outcomes – both open and supported, the course operates out of Knoxbrooke’s BaseCamp (88 Station Street, Ferntree Gully) which is adjacent to the railway station. We offer small class numbers and a flexible curriculum that focusses on outcomes which include: general employment, social enterprise employment, volunteering, civic participation, or further education such as TAFE.
The Knoxbrooke Achieve course covers a wide range of engaging activities including: cooking masterclasses, home budgeting, workplace safety and your rights at work, volunteering and how to travel – not just local but also interstate and overseas.
Students participate in a range of further learning opportunities and work placement options, develop life skills and learn what’s required to set-up a small business. Knoxbrooke Achieve also includes social activities such as camping, sailing, art and drama.
Places for 2019 are limited, so register your interest as soon as possible.
