Alternative Education |

Berry Street The Berry Street School, known as the BEST Centre, caters for young people aged 12 to 16 years who have become disengaged from mainstream education. The school currently has 2 campuses- the BEST Centre at Noble Park as part of the South Eastern Metro Region and BEST at the Shed in Morwell, Gippsland Region. Each campus has an enrolment of approximately 30 students, and delivers a trauma-informed education model. Doxa Doxa School provides alternative education for young disadvantaged students who are finding staying at their regular school challenging. Students are between 11-14 years old and are usually referred by their school because their education is being disrupted by personal circumstances and behavioural or learning difficulties. The school opened in 2000 with the aim to excite young people about learning and help them succeed on a chosen path. Evolution Evolution was designed and brokered by the Capital City LLEN to re-engage early school leavers and homeless people who are accessing services in the city, highly disadvantaged residents or are homeless in the city to transition them into further education, training or employment by using art creation as an engagement tool. Evolution is an arts-based program aimed at young people aged 13-19. Evolution based at ‘Signal’, Signal is the only art space in City of Melbourne dedicated to young people. STREAT STREAT is a social enterprise, not-for-profit organisation, working with young people aged 16-25 years, 'at risk', disengaged or homeless, providing the young people with a supported pathway to long-term careers in the hospitality industry. STREAT came from a Vietnamese model, street hawker style food carts to get youth off the streets in Vietnam. STREAT opened a Melbourne Street Cart in March 2010 and took on new trainees.
