Hands on Learning (HoL) is an education adjustment program designed to support the social and emotional development of young people by catering to their diverse learning styles. Established in 1999 and delivered in partnership with Save the Children since 2000, HoL focuses on re-engaging students with school through relationship-based support and creative building projects.

​

At Kalianna, we introduced HoL in 2024, running the program from Tuesday to Friday with a diverse group of students. The program operates from our Whipstick campus and on location, with students participating in various outdoor education excursions. These practical tasks provide students with the opportunity to learn new skills, develop self-confidence, and gain experience in different trades.
