Benita Belsham is our Youth Support Coordinator. The role of a YSC is to support at-risk students in Years 10 - 12 so they can remain engaged in education or alternative pathways. This will enhance their opportunities for further education and sustainable employment.  Working closely with young people, their families, and the other school staff, she helps these young people overcome barriers that may negatively impact their education. The YSC also assists students with the transition process should they wish to leave education for an alternative pathway.  Benita also runs proactive programs: resilience groups, RAGE program, Drumbeat and works with our community partners to provide support for our young people.  Some of our partners are: Accoras, Mercy Family Unit, Centrelink, ​yourtown, YFS, Headspace.​
