Delightful to see Year 11 & 12 students from Key College, Merrylands campus, one of Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Street’s schools, helping Year 7, 8 and 9 students from Holroyd School put their SEATs together.
Melissa Fotea, student support at Youth Off The Streets said, “We had so many ideas about how to get the S.E.A.T Project started in our setting. I thought it would be valuable to begin by our students volunteering to assist another local school who are also participating in S.E.A.T”. Holroyd School supports students with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities. “Our students have come together to partner in the teamwork stage of the program (that’s what the ’T’ stands for in S.E.A.T). Once they’ve helped Holroyd, then we’ll begin our process back at our school”.
Melissa said, “not only will this be a learning experience about community but a powerful reflection tool for our students. They will be the ones driving the rest of the Project because they’ve loved it so much!”
Youth Off The Streets start their own S.E.A.T Project this week!
