Homework Clubs

At our Homework Clubs volunteer specialist tutors assist secondary students with their studies in a friendly and supportive environment.

Young children receive assistance in the library as part of the Homework Club.

Our Homework Clubs in Fitzroy and Frankston help students with homework, exam preparation and on pathways to further education and careers.

The Homework Club in Fitzroy runs on weekdays after school for secondary students, with a focus on those from culturally diverse backgrounds.

The Frankston Homework Club is operated in partnership with the New Hope Foundation and Woodleigh School on Tuesdays after school, for refugee students aged 15 to 19.

At the Homework Clubs volunteer specialist tutors assist students in a range of subject areas, including maths, English and science, and help with study skills including research, essay writing and time management. They provide specific support for students whose first language is not English.

They also help with planning tertiary education and career pathways, and with job application skills.

At Fitzroy the multiple study areas include a computer room with printing facilities and a quiet area. Students also have access to the Fitzroy Library.
