When we opened our Forest Lake campus in July 2021 When we opened our Forest Lake campus in July 2021, we had 48 students. By the end of that year, we had 110 students. Today that campus now supports and educates about 250 young people, with more wanting to attend. Luckily, we have the land to grow our facilities to meet community demand for the way our College is doing school differently. We recently celebrated the official opening of new classroom spaces, led by a beautiful Welcome to Country performed by First Nations group, Tribal Experiences. Arethusa College Forest Lake Campus Principal, and fierce advocate for young people, Eryn Grady, said the new learning space had been swiftly embraced by the Years 9 and 10 students whose studies were moved to the building, which also incorporates sound-proof acoustic pods. Eryn said "students love the new space". "They feel like they have a new home base and have taken ownership of it." #ArethusaProud #SpecialAssistanceSchools

Meet our third Queensland College of Teachers TEA Meet our third Queensland College of Teachers TEACHX Award finalist, Stacey Power, Stacey’s fierce and purposeful advocacy for Queensland’s most vulnerable young people — young people who often haven’t had an adult in their corner — is her super power. Her work revolves around answering a simple question: “What does this child need at this very moment to set them up well for the future?” The answer and the solutions are often complex. But for Stacey, they are always achievable with determined and creative thinking. Stacey draws on 20 years of pedagogical practice, life experience and expertise in special and inclusive education to look deeply at each child, their living situation, their family, and any medical diagnoses they may have, such as autism or anxiety, and connects the student and their family with the services they need to help clear their path, so they can engage in education. Her role with Arethusa started during the COVID pandemic. She was given a mission in late 2020 to find 15 students and get them back into education or training. That was the start of Arethusa’s ground-breaking Anywhere Learning Team which Stacey leads. The team now comprises about 50 educators, welfare and allied health workers and other support staff who bring learning to students, wherever they are, wherever they feel safe, such as at home or in a park. Ever year Stacey and her team work with about 250 young people, creating highly individualised programs that address the underlying issues preventing them from accessing education. Over the past three years, the team has successfully re-engaged almost 90 per cent of the 700 young people who weren’t in school — encouraging them back into education (at Arethusa or another school or school of distance education), training or employment. Going hand in hand with this work is Stacey’s leadership of Arethusa’s targeted literacy and numeracy support program, which includes an intensive reading intervention program. Thank you Stacey for your tireless advocacy, not only for Arethusa's young people, but all young people who need someone in their corner, fighting for them.
