Girls at the Centre

Girls at the Centre is a school-based initiative run by the Smith Family that is successfully addressing many of the barriers that prevent stronger school engagement for young girls. It's aim is to build closer relationships between the high school, university and community partners; and improve students’ understanding of what they want to achieve from their schooling and beyond. This includes processes for seeking further studies and employment. It does this by connecting students and their families with a variety of mentoring opportunities.
