This March we are proud to announce the release of our monthly ‘Engage for Change’ Newsletter, designed to share the impact we’ve made, share inspiring success stories, and provide valuable insights into our charitable corporate partnerships and donation endeavours. As a registered charity and recognised Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) with charity tax concessions, we are dedicated to transparently sharing the positive change we bring to communities. Our first edition marks a significant step forward in addressing a critical issue in Australia that shows 20% of senior school students are currently disengaged or at risk of disengagement from mainstream education.
With eight campuses across Queensland supporting over 1250 students and more campuses planned to open, The BUSY School aims to build lasting connections with our local communities, partner with businesses and build brighter futures for disengaged, disadvantaged and high needs students by providing Year 11 and 12 students in a safe environment to re-engage with education while getting a head-start in employment.Newly appointed Corporate Partnerships Manager, Lana Endersby said, “The BUSY School’s mission is to ensure more young people complete school and find meaningful employment resulting in positive change for communities. I now have a front row seat to actively fulfill this mission and close the disengagement gap by championing support for our alternative learning services.”
Reflecting on her initial weeks at The BUSY School, Lana expressed her pride in everyone she encountered – from students to staff, emphasising a shared commitment to the school’s movement. Her role is dedicated to spreading this message throughout Australia, fostering connections with communities, and creating a ripple effect of goodwill as communities and corporate partners join the movement and witness the transformation in students and families.
The BUSY School is actively working towards building a strong financial foundation to ensure sustained growth for regions who need an alternative education offering that re-engages young people with education and their career paths. Our aim is to open more campuses to support our movement.
With a fundraising goal of $300,000 for 2024, the foundation focuses on transformative giving, community engagement fundraising, and individual donations.
This movement is set to gain momentum as The BUSY School explores the potential to expand its reach interstate, with the aim of re-engaging students in learning, guiding them towards achieving their senior certificates, and empowering them to secure employment or pursue further studies.
