Empowering young people to achieve their potential
Within a positive learning culture of high expectations, every Youth Education Centre student engages in closely tailored learning. This empowers them to meet their full learning potential and follow their unique pathways. Youth Education Staff work in close collaboration with all other stakeholders. This maximises learning outcomes and enables productive transitions into, through, and out of YEC into further education, training or work.
Welcome to the Youth Education Centre
At YEC, we recognise that every student is unique. Your child’s education and well-being is a top priority. That’s why we offer tailored learning in a safe and supportive environment. At the YEC, each student is encouraged to achieve their personal best.
We offer different pathways to help each student stay engaged and reach their learning goals.
Respect
We work closely with all of our students to foster an environment that places mutual respect on a pedestal. This instils respectful conduct and behaviour between students and teaching staff.
Responsibility
We’ve created an environment in which each student learns to act responsibly and take responsibility for themselves. This doesn’t only improve their academic performance, but also helps improve them as individuals too.
Success
The Youth Education Centre is a public school that aims to help our students become the best versions of themselves. This ensures students receive the support, education systems, and teaching excellence they need to take the next step in their career.
