This project is a collaborative fundraising effort between Tiwi College, Essendon Football Club and Scotch College, Melbourne. Further funds need to be raised in order to replace a Tiwi Academy Room specifically for the boys, as the current room is in a state of disrepair. Currently the Girls Academy Room ( shown above ) is functioning well, thus we are seeking a state of equity for our students.
Our Academy Program is central to our significant School Engagement and Positive Behaviour Learning Strategies. The program headed "Strong Body, Strong Mind, Strong Culture", collates data on students' attendance, attitudes and behaviours in the 3 main areas of the school, namely the Academic School, Family Group Homes & Academy Training sessions. This data, called our "Traffic Light System" is used for case management of all students and acts a vehicle for medium term positive changes in behaviour and student retention.
