WE’RE GETTING READY! 🚀

Term 4 has arrived, but our Back2School classroom is taking this week to prepare for what’s ahead!

Our staff are busy planning new learning, life skills, hands-on projects, wellbeing activities and exciting opportunities for our students.

💙 Back2School classes start next week- Monday 12 October!

We can’t wait to see you all then :)

🎉 THAT’S A WRAP ON TERM 3! 🎉

And just like that… Term 3 at Back2School is DONE! 💙

We finished off the term with a week focused on celebrating, reflecting and spending some quality time together as a team.

🎬 We kicked off the week with our End of Term Excursion, heading to the movies before grabbing some fast food and spending the afternoon at Uptop.

📚 We still managed to sneak in some learning, with our usual spelling, sentence structure and times tables, plus an End of Term Literacy Game Show to see how much everyone remembered!

We also welcomed the Australian Defence Force in for a careers session- full of games and interesting facts!

🔨 Tool Time Tuesday gave students the chance to finish off bikes, artwork and our classroom projects,

👩‍🍳 On Wednesday, students worked together on cooking and helped organise and reset our classroom, and finished the term with a well-earned movie afternoon, popcorn, treats and team games. 🍿🎥

Most importantly, we spent time talking individually with our students about what Term 4 looks like for them, their goals and their next steps.

We are incredibly proud of the progress our young people have made this term. Whether it has been improving their literacy or numeracy, building confidence, learning practical skills, strengthening relationships, attending more consistently or simply having a go at something they previously wouldn’t – every bit of progress counts. 💙

A huge thank you to our students, families, schools, partner organisations, guest facilitators and everyone who has supported Back2School throughout another very busy term.

Now it’s time for a well-earned break! 🙌

Have a safe and happy school holidays, and we’ll see everyone back for Term 4 from Monday 12 October!

💙 Reconnect. Rebuild. Rise.

💙 WEEK 9 AT BACK2SCHOOL! 💙
Another busy week at Back2School, with Week 9 focusing on Health, Fitness & Self-Care! 🙌

📚 Students kept working hard on their literacy and numeracy, including spelling, sentence structure, times tables, grammar, money and individual school work, as well as continuing our Blueback reading program.

🌱 Anglicare Thrive joined us for another great session — and spoiled us with GYG for lunch! 🌯😋

🩹 First Aid took on an NT flavour this week with snake bites & stings, while Health focused on sleep, nutrition and healthy routines. We then got moving with some netball and team games! 🐍🏐

⚖️ We welcomed Legal Aid back for another student-led session, while Tool Time Tuesday had students working on bikes and getting creative with our classroom design project. 🔨🎨

🎯 Our Future Me activity had students thinking about what they want life to look like at 18–21 — from work and training to cars, money, travel and independence!

💛 We wrapped up with Wellbeing Wednesday, recognising R U OK? Day, Child Protection Week & Self-Care, with some important conversations about looking after ourselves and supporting the people around us.
Another great week of learning, laughing, getting hands-on and building skills for life! 💙🙌

💙 WEEK 8 AT BACK2SCHOOL! 💙

Another busy week done and dusted at Back2School! 🙌

This week our theme was Father’s Day & Positive Male Role Models, giving our young people the opportunity to think about the positive people in their lives, what makes someone a good role model and the importance of having a strong support network around you. 💙

📚 Of course, we still kicked off each day with our core literacy and numeracy skills — spelling, sentence structure, times tables, grammar, time and addition — along with individual school work and assessments. Students also continued working through our Blueback reading program.

🌱 Anglicare Thrive joined us again for another wellbeing session, continuing the fantastic work they have been doing with our students throughout the term.

🩹 First Aid got hands-on this week as we learnt about sprains, strains and broken bones. Students reviewed DRSABCD before practising bandaging and making slings — plenty of laughs while learning some very useful real-life skills!

🤝 We also had some important conversations about healthy relationships in sport and everyday life, looking at respect, communication and how our behaviour can impact the people around us.

🔨 Tool Time Tuesday gave everyone a chance to get hands-on with bikes, Lego, puzzles, craft and art, before continuing our work around Goals & Pathways and thinking about what we want to work towards next.

👩‍🍳 Wednesday brought Cooking & Life Skills, with students cooking, baking, planning meals, writing shopping lists, checking supplies and helping keep our kitchen organised. These everyday skills are just as important as what we learn from a textbook!

💙 We finished off with Wellbeing Wednesday, bringing our theme together by exploring positive male role models and support networks and recognising the people we can turn to when we need advice, encouragement or a bit of extra support.

Another week of learning, laughing, getting hands-on and building skills for life at Back2School! 💙🙌

🐥 A Little Bit of Chicken Love at Back2School! 🐥

We were lucky enough to have Sherrie visit us with some very cute baby chickens! 🐣💛

The students loved meeting the little chicks and learning about caring for them. We’ll also be collecting suitable food scraps from Back2School to help feed the chickens, giving students a great opportunity to learn about animal care, responsibility, sustainability and reducing food waste.

Another hands-on learning experience that brings learning to life! 🌱🐔
