How YES works

  • A universal service.  Open to all students enrolled at Port Augusta Secondary School (PASS).
  • Year levels 8-13+
  • Students have different levels of involvement with the centre.

YES Care Group (YCG) – Students are part of multi-leveled care group 8-13+. Students may be a YES only student and/or have a high level of participation in YES programs and support services. Referrals may be directly from students & families, Year Level Assistant Principals and Counsellors, DFE and non DFE agencies and services. All students have an individualised learning plan.

YES Single Program Only (YSPO) – Students in this category may participate in a 1 or 2 programs or services. For example, a single SACE subject, VET program, study support or a Learner Driver course. Referrals are from students, families, student counsellors and year level Assistant Principals.  Some students may participate in a single VET program at PASS through a negotiated dual enrolment with their base school.

YES Suspension or Exclusion (YES SEE) – students may be referred via their year level Assistant Principal and/or Regional Office support services for short term placements to support their suspension and exclusion program.

YES Transition (YT) – This is for students requiring additional or extended transition from primary school or another secondary school by negotiation with their school Principal and/or regional and other support services. YT also provides targeted transition program for students who have disengaged from PASS and/or have other barriers to learning and need additional steps & supports in place before returning to YES or mainstream learning.
