The Skyline Education Foundation Australia provides support to gifted and talented students, from socially and financially disadvantaged backgrounds, for the final two years of their secondary education. The program is a commitment to academic excellence and individual development, providing students with personal and career development opportunities, as well as financial support and counselling. Economic, social and emotional disadvantage don’t discriminate, they target all, including the academically gifted. Skyline aims to put disadvantaged students back on an even playing field with their peers, by equipping them with the means and skills to reach their full academic potential. Skyline aims to reach; • Students from socioeconomic disadvantage • Young people with English as a second language, Koorie students and refugee • Students who act as carers (most often to parents who suffer from physical or mental disabilities) • Those who suffer from difficult domestic situations (such as living in out of home care or with an abusive parent) Skyline is a non-profit organsation and is funded through tax-deductible gifts and community support.
