About Youth Off The Streets

Youth Off The Streets is a not-for-profit youth organisation that provides safety, support and opportunities for young people to build a positive future. We offer crisis accommodation and housing services, alternative high school education, alcohol and other drugs counselling, youth justice support, life skills and employment programs, cultural support and community engagement, among other services. We focus on early interventions that empower young people and strengthen communities.

Not all children and young people thrive in mainstream schools. Our registered and accredited independent high schools offer a flexible alternative for students in Years 9–12.

We operate six independent high schools that are registered and accredited with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). Youth Off The Streets is also a member of the Association of Independent Schools of NSW (AISNSW).

The Lakes College is an independent school registered with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and a member of the Association of Independent Schools NSW. We offer a flexible, student-centred curriculum designed to meet academic, psychological, and vocational needs. Our programs support students in completing Year 9 or 10 and achieving their Record of School Achievement (RoSA), while also preparing them for further education or employment. A strong focus on pastoral care, work readiness, sport, and service learning enriches our supportive and inclusive learning environment.
