Welcome to the Montague School Project 500 Program!
We are thrilled to introduce this exciting initiative that plays a vital role in strengthening the connection between our school and the local community. Project 500 is designed to build lasting partnerships with local businesses and organisations, creating invaluable opportunities for our students, especially those with disabilities, as they prepare for life beyond the classroom.
About Project 500
Project 500 is a community connection program that brings together local businesses to support Montague School’s educational, pathways, work experience, work placement, and employment programs. Our goal is to create a robust network of community involvement that ensures our students receive the best possible opportunities to grow and thrive in both educational and real-world environments.
Through this program, each participating business contributes an annual donation of $500, which directly supports Montague School’s initiatives for our students. These contributions help us develop, extend, and maintain essential programs that create meaningful pathways for students with disabilities, to transition successfully into the workforce and their future careers.
Local businesses can become a part of Project 500 by committing to an annual contribution of $500. Your support can transform the future for a student, providing them with the chance to gain work experience, learn valuable skills, and secure long-term employment opportunities.
To make a difference today, please click the donation link below to make your contribution.
All businesses that participate in Project 500 will receive:
- Acknowledgment on our website and other school materials.
- The opportunity to feature your business in our community events and programs.
- A certificate of appreciation to display in your business location.
- Recognition in school newsletters and on our social media platforms.
- Invitations to school celebrations and annual events.
Together, we can create a community of support that empowers our students to reach their full potential and succeed in their professional lives. Thank you for being a part of this journey!
The Impact of Your Support
The $500 annual contribution from each local business provides the following benefits:
Education Support
Funds will go toward enhancing classroom resources and specialised programs that cater to the diverse needs of our students.
Pathways & Work Experience
Contributions help to facilitate hands-on learning experiences, including school-based internships, industry placements, and career exploration activities that equip students with skills and knowledge for their future careers.
Work Placement & Employment Programs
Donations ensure that students with disabilities are connected with local businesses for real-world work placements, helping them develop practical job skills in a supportive environment.
Student Support Services
These funds allow us to maintain and expand programs that support students with additional learning needs, including specialised therapy services, career counseling, and independent living skills training.
Transport
Contributions help the school organise transport for students to attend work placements, industry visits, and other off-site educational activities. This ensures that all students have access to these opportunities, regardless of their transportation needs.
Adventurous Training & Independence Program Support
Donations help fund camps and independence programs that allow students to develop life skills in real-world settings. These programs are essential for fostering independence, social development, and self-confidence in our students.
By joining Project 500, local businesses can make a real and lasting impact on the lives of Montague School students, helping them build brighter futures.
