OPERATION NEWSTART WESTERN
A chance for change & new connections
Operation Newstart Western is an opportunity for new personal direction. With support from program facilitators, their schools, their families and their community; young people are empowered to create positive change. Through engaging with outdoor adventures, hands-on learning experiences and opportunities to understand ourselves.
The program is available to young people aged between 13-16 years of age, who attend a Government school in the Western Metropolitan area of Melbourne.
We have a new group of 8 students each term, running in Terms 1, 2 & 4 (with the iLeaD program running in Term 3). All of our programs are mixed gender and we accept applications from schools on behalf of students at any time of year. We complete the selection process in the final two weeks of each term.
