Education for students who have struggled and been excluded from mainstream schooling.
Visionwest Alternative Education provides educational and pastoral support for students needing a fresh start after been excluded from school.
Our AE team re-engages students in meaningful learning, a place of belonging and activity-based learning. The Visionwest AE team are committed to responding to individual needs and giving students every chance to find a new future. We work with students, at their pace, to transition back to mainstream school, further education, or employment.
