MULTICULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM (MSP)

The previous very successful Refugee Education Program has been replaced with a broader multicultural support program.

Exit bursaries at Milpera SHS will continue. These are $300 each and are awarded at the end of each term, to a female student exiting to a mainstream secondary school.

The new program has more of a focus on the Sunshine Coast, and will include assisting migrant women and girls, as well as refugee women and girls. The program requires collaborating with local agencies, such as Settlement Engagement and Transition Support (SETS).

Initially, the program will engage in English conversation groups, progressing to mentoring women as they prepare for education and work.

A bursary (or other form of financial support) will be awarded annually to a student with a refugee background at UniSC.
