Belong Believe Become
The Waymaker Program for students will commence in 2025 at our Carrum Downs Campus. Waymaker is a flexible pathway for young people who have disengaged from school due to social-emotional reasons.
Waymaker is a place where young people can Belong - where they are known, loved and connected in community. It is a space where young people come to Believe - where they build their courage, confidence and begin to tell a new story. And it is a journey they go on to Become - where they are empowered to grow into the fullness of who God has designed them to be.
We know that some young people struggle to engage with school, so we’ve created a highly adaptable and personalised program that provides the extra support for students right at their point of need.
Waymaker will launch in 2025 for students in Grade 6 to Year 8. We will then add additional Year levels:
- 2025: Grade 6 to Year 8
- 2026: Grade 6 to Year 9
- 2027 and beyond: Grade 6 to Year 10
Waymaker Students
A typical Waymaker student will have a history of difficulty attending school, usually due to a diagnosed and significant mental health condition related to anxiety, depression or post traumatic stress that is currently being treated by an appropriate health practitioner.
Waymaker students are deemed incapable of learning in a more traditional school environment due to a diagnosed condition or other documented social and emotional difficulties.
