Education Assistance and Tutoring

Because the Society understands that many families struggle to pay for their children's education, many conferences assist with some school-related expenses such as books, excursions and school uniforms. Whilst the amount of assistance is modest, it can make a significant difference for those families experiencing financial difficulties.

There are a number of tutoring programs that have been established across Australia - mainly to help migrant and refugee children with their homework and English skills. The students and volunteers gather weekly together for a learning exchange. The tutoring programs provide students with a chance to share their culture with the volunteers and to meet new people. For many of the new refugee families the program can also provide an opportunity to meet migrant and refugee families who have been living in Australia for longer than they have.
