Galilee School

Galilee School offers a supportive and flexible learning program that aims to meet the individual needs of students. We operate two campuses in Canberra: one in Holder for Year 10 and one in Kambah for Year 7-9. The Galilee School provides students with a quality education aligned with the Australian Curriculum and modified to meet the needs of the individual, as outlined in each student’s Individualised Learning Plan. 

The learning environment available at the School provides a range of opportunities for students to engage with their learning and to explore individual interests and passions while improving social and emotional capabilities. One of the aims of the school is to increase education and employment opportunities for students. Training, skill development and job readiness support, for students transitioning to the workforce or to further educational opportunities, is provided.

Communities@Work's Galilee School meets the individual education needs of all students via a flexible support model that is learner-centred, strengths-based, relationship-driven and restorative. Our program builds and develops long-term resilience and resourcefulness in the young people attending the school.

Referrals to Galilee School can be made by a family member, a youth worker or caseworker, may come from the school the student is currently attending or can be made by the young person themselves. Referrals should be made directly to the School and are accepted at all times of the year – with new students generally commencing at the start of each term (depending on when referral and enrolment processes can be completed). At various times of the year, we may establish a waiting list. The waiting list is regularly reviewed as placements become available.
