Welcome to YMCA Vocational School - North Lakes Junior Campus, located at Endeavour Boulevard in North Lakes, Australia. Our institution is a point of interest and establishment that provides adjusted education programs and vocational training to secondary students who would benefit from an alternative learning environment. With campuses across Brisbane, our school supports students in their journey to employment.

At YMCA Vocational School, students participate in programs dedicated to enhancing practical and personal skills at a pace that encourages school attendance, engagement, and confidence. We believe in the power of inspired young people and draw on our fundamental values of honesty, responsibility, respect, and care to create a nurturing learning environment that supports our students in preparing for the future.

Our mission is to positively engage young people in education and lifelong learning, empowering them to become well-rounded, confident, and healthy human beings. We aim to support students who have difficulty engaging in mainstream education, although capacity limits do apply. Prospective students must be referred to YMCA Vocational School and participate in an induction process to determine their suitability for our programs.

Enrollment applications are preferred at the beginning of each school semester, but student referrals are welcome throughout the year. To apply, please complete the referral form, application form, and application checklist.
