Our youth programs are specifically designed for young people aged 14–18 who are on a part-time school timetable and or disengaged with school, who are looking for meaningful ways to build on their interests and confidence.

Just to be clear—our goal is not to pull students away from school, but rather to support them by offering fun, engaging, and educational opportunities that help them build confidence and practical skills. 

Our programs are led by qualified educators who have lived experience with school not always being the easiest place. We understand what that’s like, and we’re here to offer support, not judgment. 

All equipment is provided and these programs are currently free through funding support from Vic Health. These programs are delivered with the knowledge and cooperation of Castlemaine Secondary College.

Please note spaces are limited and students who are part-timetable students or those experiencing challenges with school will be prioritised.
