The School is helping disadvantaged children improve their opportunities and lifestyles by encouraging them to obtain education and training to develop their self-esteem; this has enabled them to break out of the poverty trap. Garram Children’s School also provides support for their families and the local community through its adult literacy program.
The pre-school nursery section encourages children and their families to accept regular attendance at school from the earliest age. This also relieves older brothers and sisters from child-minding duties while mother and father work. Learning through play makes the experience a happy one and forms good habits from an early age.
