Who do we help?

The Song Room provides tailored programs to disadvantaged children, who would otherwise miss out, including:

• Socio-economically disadvantaged school communities
•  Indigenous communities both in urban and remote rural regions
•  Young people with health and disability challenges
•  New arrivals with English as a second language
•  Disengaged children with behavioural problems or in areas of high juvenile crime
•  Early intervention programs for children (0-5 years) and parents in disadvantaged areas
•  Geographically isolated and remote schools

Why is The Song Room unique?

The Song Room provides programs to over 40,000 children each year, but what makes The Song Room different is that the programs are:

• free to schools, targeting only the most disadvantaged communities
• long-term to achieve broader educational and social impact
• tailored to particular school/community requirements
• building community capacity for long-term sustainability
• based around a range of music and arts media
• developed to be integrated across the curriculum, and
• enhanced through partnerships with like minded organisaions
