We exist to close the disengagement gap.
Our Goal is for 100% of students to be employed or bound for further studies by Graduation.

Our Approach to Supporting Disengaged Youth
The BUSY School campuses are located in Brisbane City, Cleveland, Salisbury, Shailer Park, Southport, Coolangatta, Cairns, and Ipswich. The schools offer a highly supportive, personalised and inclusive environment, no fees, smaller classroom sizes, wellbeing support, access to vocational education and training, work experience and career pathway guidance.
The BUSY School covers all start-up costs for establishing a school campus and all the provisions to the student while they are with us, including equipment, uniforms, food, staffing, training, resources and facilities, so our families have no outlay. Our schools go above and beyond to offer additional learning, wellbeing, personal development and career services to support our students’ successes.
Demand for BUSY Schools: Why They’re Needed in Queensland
Demand for our current schools means they are now reaching capacity and the need for this support is not being met in other regions. There is opportunity for The BUSY School to do more.
With Your Help, We Can Make a Difference
With your help and care, we can continue to open more schools across Queensland to meet the needs of these disengaged and at risk youth. Together, we can re-engage them with their learning, support them to finish school and secure meaningful employment.
How You Can Support Us
You may choose to make a one-off donation or set up a recurring monthly gift. Alternatively, you may like to donate as a business or explore a more formal partnership with tangible benefits.
All donations are valued. Gifts of $2 or more are tax-deductible and you will receive a tax-deductible receipt following the transaction.
With your support, we can continue to open more schools across Queensland and help even more disengaged or at risk youth.
