Referrals

Referral Process

Criteria for referral

The Pavilion School is set up for students who have disengaged from school are not able to attend their local secondary school or another mainstream secondary school.  We believe that if a student is able to attend a full time program at a secondary school close to home then this is the best outcome for young people.  However for many young people this is not possible and a flexible learning program like The Pavilion School is the best option.  For these young people we make sure that the referral process is as easy as possible because we understand that there have been many barriers to education in the past.

When a young person is referred to The Pavilion we will make sure that:

  1. The young person is of secondary school age (13-18 years)
  2. The young person has attempted enrolment and engagement with a secondary school.
  3. A flexible program with a reduced timetable is acceptable to the young person and their parent / carer.
  4. The young person is willing to continue their education.

Please Note: After discussion with Pavilion intake coordinators, referrals for young people aged between 13-15 are required to have a DET FLO referral that is completed by their current school. This request for enrolment is then considered by the NWVR regional director.  For more information regarding FLO referrals please click here.

If these criteria are met then the referral will be processed by our intake workers.  It is important to note that if these criteria are met then young people will not be judged or refused enrolment due to their behaviour at previous schools, their living situation or their presentation at enrolment interviews.

Referral Process and Wait List

Young people are referred by themselves, friends, family or previous schools.   Referrals are completed and submitted on line at our school website and the referring person is contacted by our intake workers.  The Pavilion School often has a waiting list due to the high demand at both campuses.  If a student is referred and put on a waiting list then the intake worker will keep in touch with the young person and their family/carer until a spot becomes available.  Intake workers will prioritise students on the waiting list according to need and assist young people to find alternative educational options if appropriate.
