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. Yr 10, 11 & 12 Enrolments now open for 2026 Email us with your name and contact details to organise a tour of either our Lawnton or Riverview campuses before making your decision to enrol. 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.

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL We are excited to be back for our 2024 school year. Our school campuses continue to grow as we see our student numbers increase. We are blessed to be able to offer an alternative schooling experience for our young people for whom mainstream schooling has not suited their needs. Our YOS Lawnton Campus has three classes: year 10, 11 and 12. Our students there are continuing to access a range of vocational programs to support their skill development and to help with employment opportunities. Our hospitality program continues to thrive with all our year 11 students now studying for their Certificate II in Hospitality. Our Year 11 and 12 students are also participating in the Certificate II in Self Awareness and Development, delivered in partnership with Blue Print. Both Campuses welcomed new teachers this year, along with new teacher aids and a new Youth Worker to support the students' social and emotional development. The students will be completing their First Aid Training in term 2 and several students have already secured their TAFE in Schools Program for 2024. Our Year 11 and 12 students are also participating in the Certificate II in Self Awareness and Development, delivered in partnership with Blue Print.
