With over 900 students across two Special Assistance Schools in Southeast Queensland, they provide tailored programs for students who have disengaged from mainstream education due to various personal challenges, including mental health concerns, bullying, or family violence.

54 reasons is Australia's leading child rights organization, proudly part of the Save the Children Australia Group. Their mission is to ensure children and young people have their rights met and can thrive.

Together, they are bringing our combined expertise to Mount Isa to create a unique and impactful learning environment.
