Community Liaison Programs

Community and School Engagement Program with Partner Organisations 

Melton Secondary College students had the opportunity to be actively involved in some autumn school holiday programs. The programs  were facilitated by the DET’s Youth Participation Office to increase youth involvement with a range of holiday activities with organisations such as Melbourne Victory Football Club, Mushroom Group, VICSEG New Futures, and the Huddle with North Melbourne Football Club.  MSC students have benefited greatly from the many holiday activities accessing training at AAMI Park stadium and other sites within Melbourne's West and CBD.

ON TRACK Holiday Program by Mushroom Group

MSC students have been involved in many of the Mushroom Group programs, particularly the ON TRACK holiday program which happens every school holiday term and exposes young people to creative arts and Melbourne’s finest music talent.  The program is supported by the DET through their Youth Participation Office to connect young people with community mentors and potential pathways into creative industries. 

MSC student Ibwami Bolikoko has been chosen to be a Student Mentor at ON TRACK 16. This saw Ibwami taking on a leadership position, guiding and encouraging ON TRACK participants. Ibwami was awarded $100.00 for his dedication, teamwork, hard work and passion towards the program as he attended many program with other MSC Student cohorts.

On Track Holiday program will be hosted in MSC's REC Centre during the Term 3 holiday period. More information will be circulated to students and parents later this term.

Overall, holiday programs are vital to the active engagement of our students and offers them opportunities to access community mentors and organisations that work closely with the community and school. The school holiday platform assists young people to connect with peers from different schools and build positive relationships.
