SCHOOL HISTORY - YOS LAWNTON CAMPUS YOS Lawnton, has been part of the Lawnton community for over seven years, with a desire to see young people reengage in education to benefit themselves and the community in which they live. YOS Lawnton is a Special Assistance School, under The Salvation Army, delivering specialised, tailored programs to young people. It recognises that there are many young people who are at significant risk of disengaging or who have disengaged completely from the mainstream education system. YOS Lawnton campus offers an alternative learning approach with the opportunity for students to reconnect with education, while getting a head-start into employment. We aim to provide flexible education programs with a future focus. Gained funding in 2005 through Education Queensland to assist in the funding of the Lawnton & Caboolture Alternate Delivery Education Programs. 2013 The last Year 12 students graduated from the Caboolture Alternative Education Program after the loss of Education Queensland funding. Education Programs continue at Lawnton, Stafford and Fortitude Valley. 2015 YOS gained Independent School status and enrolled 21 students in its first year of operation. The school is situated at The Salvation Army Pine Rivers Corps (Church) at Lawnton. 2015 Alternative Learning Programs also operated at Lawnton (16 students). YOS continues to support young people through Accommodation, Education, Life Skills and Driving Programs. 2017 YOS gained approval to build two temporary classrooms, a space the students could call their own. 2022 The school opened a brand new campus facility on the Pine Rivers Corp site including 4 learning areas, a hospitality centre and an art and IT centre.

RIVERVIEW CAMPUS The Riverview campus offers a flexible and individualized learning approach, providing students who have disengaged from mainstream education with the opportunity to reconnect with their studies. Our school supports students in completing their Year 10 and senior certificates in a more adaptable and supportive setting. We are committed to delivering flexible education pathways with a strong focus on future goals. Under The Salvation Army, we focus our efforts towards the mission of: Caring for people Building health communities Creating faith pathways and Working for Justice WE VALUE Integrity Compassion Respect Diversity Collaboration We look to our teachers to reengage students and teach within the levels of Year 11 or 12. Delivery Certificates I and II from the Foundations Skills Training package as well as Essential English, Essential Mathematics and Social Community Studies. Our team is small and everyone is required to work together to assist our students and the school in achieving success. This involves building strong respectful relationships with a range of students while utilising behaviour management techniques to maintain the expectations of the classroom. It also involves working closely with a Teacher Aide, Youth Worker and Vocational Trainer, utilising their abilities in the classroom to help students. We aim to achieve personal and academic success while preparing our students for their future, with a heavy emphasis on social-emotional learning and vocational pathways as a road map to achievement.

The Lawnton and Riverview School Campuses are a Special Assistance School for Year 10-12 students. They support young people through our unique Model of Care by providing a fee free education. YOS Lawnton and YOS Lawnton (Riverview) are part of The Salvation Army Independent Schools located in the North Brisbane and Ipswich areas. Both schools work with young people aged between 14 and 18 years, that have disengaged from mainstream education due to individual, relational or social factors, to help them re-commence their education. YOS Lawnton and YOS Lawnton (Riverview) currently operate for students in years 10 to 12. Our team of teachers, teacher aides and youth workers support young people who are struggling with adversities, such as mental and physical health, legal matters and other educational barriers. Every opportunity for extra assistance needed to overcome individual adversities and build independence is made available to each young person. The staff at TSA Independent School advocate tirelessly for those who may not be aware of their rights in education, or the resources that are available to them. Young people who have missed large portions of school find it difficult to navigate through the job market, Centrelink services, the legal system and so on. The staff at our schools provide education, training and employment pathways as well as advocating for young people, especially those who do not have the support of an adult in their lives at home. The Salvation Army distributes 100% of all Commonwealth and State education funding to the schools for the benefit of our students and the communities we serve. The funding is worked out for each school at a Commonwealth level in accordance with the Australian Education Act 2013 section 78 4(a) under Division 2 of Part 3. Our Mission The Salvation Army is a Christian movement dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus by: Caring for People Creating Faith Pathways Building Healthy Communities Working for Justice Our Vision Wherever there is hardship or injustice, Salvos will live, love and fight, alongside others, to transform Australia one life at a time with the love of Jesus Our Values Integrity Respect Collaboration Compassion Diversity Our School Pillars Safe and Legal Respect Responsibility Participation
