Teen Parent Unit
A Teen Parent Unit is an educational facility attached to an already established host state school. Most units are led by a teacher-in-charge under the supervision of the school principal and board of trustees.
The unit is always linked to an Early Childhood Education provider so that the child is supported while the young parent is learning.
Eligibility for Teen Parent Unit
Teen Parent Units provide for the educational needs of student who face barriers to learning because of their pregnancy and child rearing responsibilities.
Students who are within the age range to receive free education (that is, up to age 19 years and ending on the first day of January after the student's 19th birthday) are eligible for enrolment.
Where space permits the Teen Parent Unit's school may also enrol students who are over the age of 19. These students are enrolled as adult students.
