Services Provided
School Attendance Service
OYWT provides the School Attendance Service working to improve the attendance and engagement of 6-16 year olds in the greater Dunedin area.
Although all tamariki and rangatahi aged between 6 and 16 years must be enrolled in education, usually in school, we know that attending school regularly can be a challenge for some tamariki and rangatahi and their family/whānau and caregivers.
Having an education generally means better life outcomes and at OYWT we help young people to:
- Enrol or re-engage in education and learning
- Stay in education and achieve academic qualifications
- Transition from education to training or employment
