Attention Year 12 students and families

Attention Year 12 students and families
Students and their families know that leaving school is a major life transition for them as they consider options for their future lives as adults.

For young people with disability and their families access to information to plan ahead so that this transition is as smooth as possible can be difficult and complex.

Disability ACT recognises this and is working with House With No Steps to assist school leavers who need support beyond graduation. We have already started to met with Year 12 students who have submitted a school leaver referral, to start the planning process.

If you have a family member in Year 12 who has a disability and is likely to need additional support upon graduating in 2012 and would like to explore options beyond school, we encourage you to complete a referral form – as soon as possible.

School Leavers Information Pack and Referral form are available at www.dhcs.act.gov.au/disability_act

For further information please contact Disability ACT’s Information Service at The DISH on Phone: (02) 6207 1086
