The RISE Program

Early Intervention & Re-Engagement Education

The RISE Program is a full-engagement program.

The RISE program strives to support young people aged 13-16 years who have disengaged or have low attendance at their mainstream school. The intention of the program is to build student confidence and capacity, with the view to integrate students back into education.

Students remain enrolled in their home school whilst engaged in our program.

Students participate in and have the opportunity to complete 22742VIC Certificate I in General Education for Adults or 22743VIC Certificate II in General Education for Adults curriculum.

We offer small class sizes, wellbeing support and individualised learning goals. We work in conjunction with the student’s network (family, school, and external services) to provide a collaborative approach both in and out of the classroom. We take into consideration students’ needs and abilities and focus on a holistic and hands-on approach to their learning.

The RISE program aims to develop the students sense of self-worth, build resilience, social well-being, and engagement in a consistent and nurturing environment.

Students remain enrolled in their home school, and attend the RISE Program via a special arrangement.

Upon completion of the program, the goal is for students to integrate back into their home school. Students who continue to require an alternative learning environment, can enrol in Foundation Learning Centre’s ‘Foundation College’ VCAL Program.


The RISE Program is a 4 day per week program and runs from our CASEY and PENINSULA campuses.
