CoRE
Connected, Resilient, Engaged
CoRE (Connected, Resilient, Engaged) is an 8-week program for Years 10–11 that re-engages students with school, peers, and community.
Designed for small groups or whole classes, CoRE supports 15–21 year-olds facing academic, social, or personal challenges. With guidance from specialist facilitators and role models including police and emergency services, students build confidence, empathy, and the skills to make healthy, positive choices.
Each 90 minute session focuses on practical relationship building, self-reflection, and respectful dialogue, while the Community Connection Day (uniquely tailored to each school) gives students the chance to put their learning into action—whether volunteering at a local food bank or working alongside emergency services.
The result?
More engaged, confident students who feel connected, supported, and ready to contribute to their school and community.
Impact and Evaluation
At BLV, our programs are supported by formal evaluation processes that measure their impact and effectiveness. Evaluation is more than just reporting outcomes—it ensures we are delivering meaningful experiences that genuinely benefit young people. By collecting data, feedback, and evidence of change, we can continuously improve our programs, demonstrate accountability to our partners and supporters, and most importantly, ensure that every young person we engage is given the best possible opportunity to thrive.
Curriculum Alignment
CoRE is aligned to the Victorian Curriculum and links to Health and Physical Education, Personal and Social Capability and the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships framework.
