Hands On Learning is a one-day a week in-school early intervention program that significantly increases attendance and retention of students in the middle years most at risk of becoming early school leavers.

Small groups allow students from across years 7-10 to form meaningful relationships with other students and adult role models.

Students work on creative building projects that benefit the school and local community – developing confidence and a sense of personal achievement.

Hands on Learning Australia and Save the Children Australia joined forces in 2017 united by the vision of a world in
which every child learns from a quality basic education. Save the Children is Australia’s largest aid and development
agency dedicated to helping children.

Save the Children provides training and support for partner schools who become members of regional networks sharing ideas and inspiration.
