FAME gives youth fresh start

What began in the mid-1990s as a bus taking young people in the southern suburbs to the local library and community centres to engage them in education has evolved into a new state-of-the-art secondary education campus at Christies Downs.

Focus sharpens on vision for youth in the north

A unique education and community services ‘village’ in the northern suburbs is starting to take shape following the announcement that the first stage – a school for 17 to 24 year olds – will be called Compass Catholic Community.
