Olympic Adult Education Inc.
Registered Training Organisation 3818
Vision, Mission and Values
Olympic Adult Education (OAE) was founded after identifying a need to address the deficiencies in literacy and basic education for the many educationally disadvantaged adults in the local community.
As a result, OAE has developed for itself a firm Vision and Mission which it is committed to achieve, whilst operating under a strong set of values.
OAE's Vision is to provide opportunities for all members of our community to develop and advance through equitable access to educational programs and services.
OAE's Mission is to promote a sense of community in the area as well as individual vocational, social and personal opportunities by providing:
- adult literacy, basic education and English language classes;
- vocational education and training appropriate to the needs of the community;
- a range of other general adult education classes and community development activities to meet the personal, social and vocational needs of the community and
- access to formal and informal educational and technological resources
OAE's values are encompassed by the following:
Each individual is valued as a whole person and is supported in a caring environment which fosters a sense of community and lifelong learning.
OAE’s Child Safe Policy
As OAE strives to develop dynamic, responsive and innovative educational programs, teaching and learning experiences, it will intentionally promote and protect the interests and safety of children, and a child-safe environment for all children and young people in its care.
OAE’s Child Safe Policy will be achieved by:
- having a zero tolerance for child abuse
- working to actively listen to and empower children
- having systems to protect children from abuse, and will take all allegations and concerns very seriously and responding to them consistently in line with the organisation’s policies and procedures
- being committed to promoting cultural safety for Aboriginal children, cultural safety for children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and to providing a safe environment for children with a disability
- engaging only the most suitable people to work with children along with providing high quality supervision and professional development.
‘The Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) program and the Adult Migrant English Program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training’
