LIKE THE SMITH FAMILY, DOMINO'S MINDS & MEALS BELIEVES IN HELPING THE YOUTH OF AUSTRALIA TO THRIVE AT SCHOOL AND BEYOND.
Through our partnership, around 40 students from disadvantaged backgrounds are provided with a Tertiary Scholarship, so they can continue with their studies beyond school.
Each student receives financial support and specialised help tackling other obstacles to their tertiary education. This support comes at a critical stage, as the cost of travel, textbooks, data, equipment and other study aids can compound the financial pressure on families already impacted by poverty.
Additionally, students have to adjust to the changed expectations that come from moving into the tertiary environment, including a self-paced workload and timetable, and a wider range of academic choices. They are often living away from home and without their usual supports.
Our national team of Tertiary Coordinators play an important role in assisting our students to remain engaged with their studies. This includes offering additional resources and programs designed to help them take their first steps into the workforce.
Domino’s Meals & Minds also generously supports the education of secondary school students through our Learning Clubs program.
Learning Clubs provide an additional out-of-school learning environment where students can access resources and participate in activities that help develop their academic and social skills, through homework, literacy, numeracy and science support. By extending the time devoted to learning, our Learning Clubs program can enhance students’ learning skills and engagement with education.
We are so appreciative of this longstanding partnership. Together, we are empowering young Australians to harness their education, so they can unlock their true potential.
