Introduction
|
Out of School Hours Learning Support Programs (OSHSLPs) exist across Victoria to support young people with their education needs. Funded by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, the Learning Beyond the Bell program supports and provides co-ordination to OSHSLPs, including providing volunteer training and program management support. The Learning Beyond the Bell program aims to increase the consistency and accessibility of OSHLSPs, and in particular to increase the connectedness of refugee and migrant young people to school and the community, and to improve attitudes to learning.

Support for organisations developing and managing OSHLSPs
|
Are you running or thinking of starting a homework or learning support program? CMY can help to support you in the development and maintenance of your program.
REPP developed a co-ordinators’ manual based on best practices for OSHLSPs, training for tutors and training resources, and case studies of five OSHLSP models. CMY supports a Homework Help Network for co-ordinators and agencies, and provides consultation for the development and maintenance of OSHLSPs.

Homework Help Network
|
The Homework Help Network holds bi-monthly meeting of coordinators and agencies involved with OSHLSPs. The meetings involve presentations from a range of learning support models, a focus on specific topics, information and resource sharing and professional development.
The network includes an online community that provides access to forums, information and resources, and an opportunity to glean ideas and knowledge from other Homework Club Coordinators.
Aims of the network are:
|
- Highlighting the benefits of Homework Help;
|
- Promoting good practice in Homework Help;
|
- Contributing to the effective sharing and promotion of resources that are being developed within the community on Homework Help;
|
- Supporting discussion of issues common to all Homework Help providers; and
|
- Showcasing effective models of Homework Help.
|
