Enrise is an Australian Registered Charity established in 2020 and delivering technology based supported education programs to Indigenous, vulnerable and at-risk children and youth.
We do this through our strong partnerships and collaborations, improving life outcomes and creating better futures by delivering critical education support and digital device donations for our most vulnerable children and youth.
Enrise understands that education is the most powerful tool we have to combat disadvantage and poverty.
Programs include ongoing online tutoring delivered by qualified teachers and tutors through regular sessions. Enrise also donates devices free of charge to enable online learning.
Enrise integrates emerging technologies, supporting vulnerable and at risk children on their individual challenges.
Our vision is to harness potential and close the gap, providing better and brighter futures through our supported programs.
Project Summary
Our remote tutoring programs are designed to educate, engage and empower those who experience difficulty obtaining learning support; tackling one of the the most fundamental social problems experienced by our youngest living in remote and rural communities. Through our intensive, individualised and targeted tutoring we see decreased anxiety and increased confidence, improved academic results, higher school attendance and an overall positive impact on mental well-being and self-worth.
Many children in Australia are unable to learn remotely due to the affordability of devices and lack of access to obtain one. This became particularly apparent during 2020 when COVID-19 exacerbated the digital divide that exists. Our projects donates refurbished, pre-loved devices to children in need.
This project will provide ongoing tutoring for Indigenous children who are in the OOHC (Out of Home Care) sector. It will also provide free devices to these children if required.
The funding will be directed directly to providing weekly, ongoing the tutoring sessions and refurbished computers (if required) to Indigenous and vulnerable children, delivered by qualified Teachers and Tutors.
By providing the tutoring services, we see the empowerment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and teens, allowing them to achieve their full academic potential and pursue better future opportunities and life outcomes.
Project Outcomes
Through delivering the Enrise tutoring program, we have seen a marked improvement in academic achievement: Tutoring helps improve the academic performance, leading to better grades and increased confidence in the students. All students were behind at school (average 2-3 years behind) and school refusal was a big issue in the area.
The project also provides Cultural Connection: The use of culturally relevant teaching methods by the teachers and tutors, enhanced the engagement and learning experience of Aboriginal students, fostering a stronger sense of identity and pride.
Finally, the project supports empowerment: Through tutoring, students gained the skills, knowledge and self-confidence necessary to pursue their educational goals and future aspirations. We saw school refusal decrease and evidence gained from students and schools indicated a marked increase in academic performance from those students who participated in the program.
Overall the program is a huge success and the outcomes better than expected.
