Referrals

The Pavilion School is set up for students who have disengaged from school and 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.

Referral Process and Wait List

Young people are referred by themselves, friends, family, support workers or previous schools. Referrals are completed and submitted online at our school website and the referring person is contacted by our intake workers. The Pavilion School usually 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. Once a Pavilion referral is completed the student’s previous school will also need to complete a Department of Education FLO referral – For more information regarding FLO referrals please click here.

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

The young person is aged 14-18 years.
The young person has attempted enrolment and engagement with a secondary school.
A flexible program with a modified timetable is acceptable to the young person and their parent / carer.
The young person is willing to continue their education.

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.

Intake Process

Once all the referral approvals are completed, prospective students will meet with the Wellbeing Coordinator to get to know the student and family. Over several meetings information is gathered regarding the students’ needs and the student will be enrolled.
