Experienced Scholarship and Education Program Management
Contracted by government, The BUSY Group is experienced in administering national programs that support young people through educational subsidies and scholarship support.
The BUSY Group has years of experience administering scholarship and educational subsidy programs and we are successful in ensuring these opportunities are well-promoted and capacity placements are fulfilled.

Employ
Industry recognised training and practical work readiness programs are blended with core school subjects, to build each student's employability.

An environment where every student can build skills, confidence and qualifications they need to succeed.
What, Who, Why and Where
What is The BUSY School?
The BUSY School is a not-for-profit school providing students with individualised education in a supportive environment. We focus on re-engaging students who have struggled in traditional settings by offering tailored learning plans and real pathways to employment or further education
Who we’re for
The BUSY School is for young senior high school students, who feel out of place in traditional schooling environments. It's for students who may have faced life challenges, lost motivation or need extra support to reengage and complete their education. We're here for those who benefit from a more supportive environment, individualised attention, and pathways that align with their individual strengths and aspirations.
Why?
When young people overcome the challenges of disengagement from education, the ripple effects are life-changing. It's not just about completing school—it's about creating opportunities for individuals to unlock their potential, build confidence, and step into a career with purpose. By focusing on each student's unique journey, the impact extends beyond the classroom to families, communities and broader society.
