Oakwood School provides opportunities for young people who have disengaged from secondary school or where a mainstream school ... learning environment is seen to be inappropriate to meet the young person’s needs Oakwood School provides a safe and supportive learning environment that enables young people to reconnect with teachers and learning as embodied in Oakwood’s intent of “Learning, Respect and Empowerment”. We believe that all students would like to be attending school and learning. We have a further strong belief that “students will give the best that they have got”, in other words, if they could do better at school, they would. The intention of Oakwood School is to re-introduce students to learning to the extent that they are able to be successful and to build upon these successes to develop their learning potential and journey to a successful adult pathway. The program is centred around a developmentally responsive personalised learning and pathway plan with a focus on the development of literacy, numeracy, social development, pursuing student’s interests and studies of Art and Physical Education. Oakwood School has campuses in Caulfield North, Noble Park and Frankston and programs at community venues in Hastings, Rosebud, Pakenham and Mornington. Oakwood School also runs a satellite VCAL program at Longbeach Place in Chelsea. This is a re-engagement program where students are enrolled in a VCAL (Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning) program at Foundation, Intermediate or Senior level. Students also have the opportunity to complete a VET Certificate. Delivery of the program is flexible to allow students to complete their certificate over several years, if required. This unique program is delivered in a non-mainstream educational setting and gives students the opportunity to experience success with learning. read more
