The SRCS Learning Spaces thirteen-week Re-engagement Program consists of three distinct phases;

INDUCTION, INTENSIVE, and RE-ENGAGEMENT.
 

Phase 1: INDUCTION

Information gathering/data collection, in base schools (2 weeks)

- Students remain in their current mainstream setting.

- Learning Space staff communicate with and visit schools to gather information and carry out observations relating to students’ barriers to engagement as well as their strengths and recent experiences of success in their current mainstream settings.

Phase 2: INTENSIVE

Students onsite at Learning Spaces (8 weeks)

- Students attend either Brunswick or Coburg Learning Space full-time for eight school weeks (not inclusive of school holiday periods).

- Learning Space Staff undertake group and individual interventions, providing students with a skillset to re-engage with education.
 

Phase 3: RE-ENGAGEMENT

Students return to base schools (2/3 weeks)

- Re-engagement meetings with the student and school leadership are undertaken, during which recommendations are made.

- Explicit, specific interventions the school will undertake are negotiated and then distributed to teachers and ESS. 

- Learning Spaces staff facilitate and monitor this process, providing timely support and feedback to school staff and returning students.
