London House Learning Centre

Background:

London Street, Dunedin has a unique role in learning, being designated as one of the fourteen activity centres in New Zealand, that provide education for secondary school students (years 9-13) who are seriously at risk of disengaging from standard or mainstream schooling, this may be because of low educational, social or vocational reasons.

London House creates a specialized focused learning program that ensures increased attendance, engagement, and success at school, and with improved social outcomes, this leads to successful transition rates either back to the enrolling school (Bayfield High School), or moving on to further education or employment.

Scope of the work:
