Suspension program

The program

The Karayuna Learning Centre offers a structured and supportive environment in which students develop skills to help them to re-engage in their home school.

The program aims to:

  • Assist students to reflect on and understand their behaviour and its consequences and develop a positive attitude towards school.
  • Develop the student's motivation and capacity to understand the importance of re-engaging in school life and minimise the recurrence of inappropriate behaviour.
  • Provide support for parents/carers.

The students will also be involved in social and behavioural sessions which will explore themes around

  • taking responsibility for our actions
  • identifying solutions to problems
  • an understanding of positive habits of the mind
  • planning better choices
  • Building positive relationships.

The main aim is for students to realise they have potential.
