The Webpage for the Commission for Children and Young People and Child has featured the The Annexe Education and Outreach Programs in Murgon. They write:
Aim
The Annexe Education and Outreach Programs aim to reconnect disengaged secondary school age students with formal education, training or transition to employment, in a safe and supportive non-school setting.
Background
In 1997 and 1998, the Christian Brothers began working with Community Youth Justice organisations to support vulnerable young people in Cherbourg.
Why it Works
Over the last six years Annexe Education has worked very well because of the strength of the partnerships of the people involved. This was critical to the success of the program in its initial form when the Christian Brothers partnered with YACCA. The YACCA Coordinator is an Indigenous woman from the Cherbourg community. She is a positive role model to the young people who come through the program. She has been the link to the community for the Christian Brothers.
