Certificate Presentation to Hillside Young People

May 2009 saw the twelfth young person from Hillside School to exit Fairbridge doors. The relationship between Hillside school and Fairbridge has developed into a strong one over a 3 year period. Working closely with support and teaching staff we identify young people who are at a suitable stage in their development and time at Hillside and work with them to engage on the U16 Access Course.

Involvement doesn’t end there, each Hillside young person then gets to choose nine programme days over the next three months, varying from cooking to internet skills, and from first aid certification to art and crafts. Every four weeks the young person, their Hillside Key Worker and their Fairbridge Outreach and Development Worker get together for a progress meeting, to review goals and course reports and to set new goals for the following courses. We hope to see many more young people from Hillside over the coming months and years.
