Brisbane Project

History

Following the groundbreaking work in 2006 by Ardoch Board Members and Ardoch Corporate Partners, Clayton Utz and GE Money, Ardoch established a Brisbane Office and appointed a Project Coordinator in 2007 and Volunteers Coordinator in 2008. 

We work in partnership with Camp Hill State Infant and Primary School  and Loganlea  State High School.  Currently we have five Corporate partners delivering programs to our schools with a third partner school to join us in 2009.

Our programs

Our programs aim to connect with children experiencing hardship that prevent them from gaining a meaningful and enjoyable education.  We do this by offering the following:

Community Volunteering • Classroom support • Mentoring • Breakfast Club • Enrichment activities

Corporate Volunteering • Literacy Buddies • Legal Studies Buddies • Donations and Drives • Project sponsorship

Basic Needs Service          • Generating resources to directly assist students in need.  • Support for stationery, school bags, school uniforms, etc. • Donations for children experiencing disadvantage to participate in excursions and school camps

Student Placements             • For students undertaking Human Services or Education qualifications (eg. Teaching). • Gain valuable experience and skills in a primary or secondary school setting. • Develop knowledge and insight into working with children who are experiencing disadvantage. • Orientation, ongoing supervision and support provided throughout placement.

If you would like to contribute, volunteer or donate please email us at brisbanevolunteers@ardoch.asn.au.
