The SRCS Learning Spaces Mainstream Reengagement program (srcslearningspaces.vic.edu.au) currently runs in three thirteen-school-week cycles across the calendar year, with each trimester encompassing a school holiday period. The program consists of three phases; Induction, Intensive, and Re engagement.

During the two-week Induction Phase, Learning Spaces Teachers and Youth Workers visit mainstream ‘base’ schools to gather information about students via professional interactions with relevant staff, formal pre-program student assessments, and classroom observations.

Students then attend one of the Learning Spaces full-time for the eight-week Intensive Phase, during which predominantly Tier 1 and 2 interventions are undertaken within a mainstream-like environment to address specific barriers to engagement and success in areas such as behavioural, academic, social, and emotional difficulties.

Upon completion of Intensive Phase, students return to their base schools for the three-week Reengagement Phase, wherein Learning Spaces teachers facilitate Reengagement Meetings where they report student outcomes from their placement; outline successful strategies; and negotiate a set of interventions with base school leadership. They then conduct classroom observations focused on the agreed interventions and offer support to base school staff in implementing the interventions and meeting the needs of returning students more generally.
