Supporting young people to build confidence and prepare for life after school
Academy Prep is a welcoming and supportive program for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 who are beginning to explore life beyond school. It gives young people space to discover their interests, build confidence, practise essential skills, and start thinking about future employment and community participation.
Participants learn through real experiences, guided activities, and supportive mentoring, all designed to help them feel prepared and ready for their next step.
What you will learn
Mai-Wel Academy Prep focuses on developing personal and practical skills that help young people move confidently from school to adulthood.
Learning areas may include:
- Communication and working with others
- Travel and community access
- Routine and organisation
- Confidence and self-awareness
- Workplace expectations and behaviours
- Trying out different tasks and interests
Our approach is personalised. We take the time to understand each student’s strengths, interests, and support needs and build a pathway that suits them.
With a structured approach, we aim to bridge the gap from school to the next stage of life, whether that be employment or further study.
