Going Places!

The Reach Out for Kids Going Places Program has been developed to provide a general education in life issues relevant to young people who are experiencing difficulty at school. It is run at ROK in conjunction with local schools.

The aim of the program is to assist you to:

• think about decisions and choices that will affect your lifestyle and future.
• explore issues such as alcohol and drug use, sexual health and legal issues.
• make contact with resources in the local community including Youth Centres, TAFE, Centrelink and other support services for young people.
• expand your awareness of the recreational opportunities open to young people in the community
• identify study, work and further support options that you can access in the future.
