Jake Morgan, A VCAL student at Cire Community School, Yarra Junction is raising money for the Black Dog Institute, by being involved in the "Mullets for Mental Health" for September fundraising project. He has already raised an incredible $608! Jake says, “Mental health is an issue that is really important to me. I chose the Black Dog Institute because they are a charity that takes action and is not run for profit and I know that my school has worked with them in the past. There are many people that are alone and lost and can’t tell anyone what is happening. They don't want to burden anyone. People shouldn't be feeling like that. The Black Dog Institute helps these people and is a place where they can tell someone.” If you would like to donate please visit Jake's fundraising page via our bio.

We are now enrolling for years 5 and 6 at the Cire Community School, Yarra Junction Campus. Learn more today at our website, link in bio. #connectwithcire

Cire Community School's student and aspiring AFL photographer Dylan Schafter is already kicking goals to realise his dream and has used COVID as an unexpected springboard. The talented almost 17-year old launched his online photography business, @dyls_photography , three years ago and in his biggest career highlight to date, completed a coveted internship with the AFL’s Gold Coast Suns earlier this year. He has won several awards for his work and one of his photographs was 11th in the Australian Photography Magazine’s Top 20 Junior Category. Further showcasing his versatility, Dylan has entered a nature photo in the Upper Yarra Community Bank’s 2022 Calendar Competition.

Last week we held our very first Virtual Open Evenings for each of our campuses; Berwick, Mount Evelyn and Yarra Junction. Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions: Q: How many students are in each class? A: We have a maximum of 15 students per class, allowing a personalised learning experience for students. Q: How do you help students that are disengaged to re-engage back into the school system? A: Our wellbeing team are on-campus every day to assist students, even if that means sitting with them outside until they are ready to walk in. We work closely with parents to help understand what has triggered the disengagement and offer ongoing sessions with a Wellbeing Specialist to help make education a positive experience for each individual person. Our teachers create individual learning plans by asking the students what interests them, then mapping their answers back to the curriculum creating project-based learnings and programs around what interests each students to help build their interest in school.

Changing Gears gives students, particularly those with low literacy levels and self-confidence, the opportunity to achieve success by learning the road rules in a supportive environment with their peers. Facilitators work with individual students on areas where they may require extra support and students are able to learn with their peers, which further embeds the learning. Being able to sit for the test with a group, rather than alone, helps to alleviate nervousness associated with testing. It is such a valuable program for our students. #cirecommunityschool #changinggears
Changing Gears has become an important part of Cire Community School’s offerings for several years and helps students achieve one of the ”rites of passage” which may not otherwise be within easy reach, as well as contribute to keeping our roads safer. #cirecommunityschool #changinggears
To help make school accessible for our students, Cire provides a free bus service from areas including; Badger Creek, Healesville, Cockatoo, Chirnside Park, Mooroolbark, Lilydale and Mt Evelyn.
"The city of Melbourne is one of my favourite places. As a photographer, I like taking photos and learning about the culture of different people taking around. I tend to love taking photos of street scenes as you don't plan what photos you are taking. you will never know what you will find and take" - Dylan, Cire Community School photography student 📷 @dyls_photography
Cire's Yarra Junction campus has seen quite a few changes over the last 12 months; like this great new landscaped area designed, constructed, and utilised by our students. Stay tuned for some exciting updates!

Yesterday, we shared Chloe's literacy success story. After speaking with her further we discovered just how far she has come at Cire. Read more below. "Before I heard about Cire I struggled with what to do next, I thought there wasn’t anymore options for me. In the short amount of time I have been at Cire, I have learnt more than I ever did in my 4 years of mainstream schooling. Being at Cire has taught me many social aspects and taught me how to deal with real life situations. Each student is on their own pathway and the teachers and wellbeing staff support each and every student individually, in ways that benefit us for the long run. If you struggle with mainstream learning, lack social skills or need more one on one support with learning, I highly recommend looking into Cire as they can help guide you into your future and create pathways you couldn’t even imagine!" - Chloe, Cire VCAL Student
Cire's teachers and wellbeing specialists are invested in empowering students for successful futures. Here one of our VCAL students reviewing her recent work. Chloe joined Cire in March 2021 and has already completed her VCAL literacy intermediate in full, she is now onto her senior year. This is a huge achievement, especially as she told us she could never see herself completing her education, having such a difficult experience at her previous school - Well done!
Many hands make light work. When a member of our maintenance crew, Rikki needed a hand shifting some cut-offs, a group of students and school staff were more than happy to lend a hand. Helping eachother is what it's all about.
At Cire we offer our students an alternative to mainstream schooling help the re-engage with their learning and provide opportunities later in life. #cirecommunityschool
