Our impact

"It’s been hard with everything which happened at school but it got easier as soon as I came to SYA. I found it a lot easier to talk to people in the end here and have made friendships here too."
John
"It is good here at SYA and much more fun than school was. In school teachers would tell you what to do and if you couldn’t do it their way there wasn’t any other option. Here they do it a different way."
Shane
"Schools are too narrow and if you don't fit the shoe, you’re given then you’re told ‘you're not good enough for our society. Imagine the stuff that I’d have achieved if I’d been here since Year 7"
