The GOALS campus of Lavers Hill K-12 College aims to re-engage young people who are currently disengaged from any form of education, by providing students with a flexible and tailored education program. The GOALS campus is based in Colac, at the heritage site of the original Colac Shire Offices.
GOALS is a Victorian Government Flexible Learning Options School that seeks to provide the highest standard of public education for young people aged 15 ¿ 20 years (Year 10+) who have been disengaged or excluded from mainstream education.
Our staff strive to deliver a program that is grounded in positive teacher-student relationships. All of our staff are Berry Street Education Model trained, and operate using trauma-informed practice at all times, making our campus an inclusive, fun and safe place to learn and aspire.
We focus on the strengths of our students, and work hard to develop a curriculum that best supports this. All students have an annually updated Individual Learning Plan that covers many aspects of both education and wellbeing, ensuring that the students¿ changing needs and aspirations are met.
We see positive outcomes on a daily basis and many of our students not only reconnect with education, but attain certificates at TAFE, in VCE VM/VPC and continue on to employment or further education. This is a huge aspect of the success of our program.
