Schools & Students

Senior Schools' Program

The Wayside Senior Schools Program is designed for year 11 and 12 students to highlight issues facing those people on or around the streets of Kings Cross. The program is structured into two main sessions; the first focuses on engagement and education. This session includes a series of stations, group activities and discussions, then education about the main three issues facing many of Wayside’s visitors: homelessness; drug and alcohol addiction; and mental health.

The second session incorporates a walking tour of Kings Cross and the surrounding area. During the walk the group stops near agencies to learn how they operate, their history and how they answer the needs of those in the community. This session concludes with a debrief and opportunity for students to discuss the initiatives they may undertake to lend support for those who are disadvantaged in the community.
