21.01.2022 WAYS Secondary is an Independent high school for young people who want an alternative to mainstream education. Currently offering years 9, 10, 11 and 12. I never knew a school could change my life in the way this one has. This school has benefited me in so many more ways then educational purposes. It has given me a home and a second chance that I will forever be grateful for. I am not here because I am being forced, I come because I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else."

16.01.2022 #Weloveourteachers Q & A with teachers Rachael and Emma: When did you know you wanted to become a teacher and why? ... Rachel - I had always had a passion for at risk youth and kids who had not been heard before or that society had oppressed. It was always a pressing life path to enable those individuals who had been dealt a hard hand to shine. Emma - I always wanted to teach and have loved it. It's become an even greater passion since working at WAYS Why do you love teaching at WAYS Secondary? Rachel - WAYS is a unique space that enables studies to express themselves and thrive in their own skin. It allows them to flourish in a safe space and we have the most eccentric individuals that all offer their own light. Emma - The kids. I spend every day laughing and gaining a greater insight into my subjects because of their informative responses. I'm lucky to be inspired by their resilience, commitment and strength. I'm pretty biased but we have a pretty great bunch here! #WAYSSecondary #upthereforthinking #youth #school #schoolgotmelike #teacherfeatures #myschool #highschool #learning #HSC #grow #learn #lmlovinit

15.01.2022 Today the NSW Government announced stay-at-home orders for four local government areas in Sydney. This includes closing non-essential businesses such as recreation centres. As WAYS Head Office falls within these local government areas, unfortunately, we are unable to run activities or programs at our centre, which includes our vacation care program, until Friday 2 July or until the stay-at-home order has been lifted. If you have booked from 28th June - 2nd July no fees will b...e applied for this week. We will contact all parents next week, and hopefully, we still can run week 2 of our program. Our main priority is to ensure that we keep everyone safe and to contain the spread of COVID infections in the community. If you would like to talk to someone about the next steps, please email Anthony at [email protected]. See more

13.01.2022 #RFK - Russell King " He had the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.

He will never be forgotten. He will always be remembered on this day and everyday that I walk into a WAYS premise as the man who is and will always be WAYS. In loving memory, Dr Terri Said CEO

06.01.2022 DAY 2 OF AFFIRMATIONS: This experience is making me stronger. Often times when life hits us like a ton of bricks it leaves us saying why me? And after the event has passed we once again come back to the age old truth that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. In fact, this saying has been proven. Life’s negative experiences do make us more resilient and cause us to think about the next steps when faced with the same adversity. We also become more aware of when these thin...gs will happen again and what we need to do to prevent or overcome them. #covidlockdown #mentalhealthmatters
