PRINCIPAL'S Welcome

SMYL Community College is more than a school, it is an inclusive learning community that supports young people to make positive changes in their lives. As an independent, non-government school, we are specifically designed for students identified as being at educational risk.

 

The College:

• provides hope and opportunity within a safe and supportive environment

• offers individualised pathways built on project-based learning, and

• empowers students with the skills, knowledge, and self-belief to contribute positively through further education, training, or employment.

 

We take time to understand each student’s barriers to learning and make meaningful adjustments so they can succeed. Our wrap-around case management model brings together teachers, engagement staff, and support services to ensure every student has a pathway that fits.

 

We provide a flexible space where students can learn, staff can contribute positively, and families feel they belong. Our ‘CARES’ values guide how we interact with one another and strengthen our inclusive culture.

 

All staff are committed to supportive and positive practices that build strong relationships and positive learning environments. With dedicated teams, we celebrate every success and walk alongside students as they overcome barriers and move toward a positive future.
