Priority Schools Partnership Program
About Priority School Partnerships
An exciting new initiative, Swinburne’s Priority Schools Partnership program is designed to support students to build aspiration, improve learning outcomes and harness a greater understanding of career management as they navigate their high school journey toward tertiary education and beyond.
With the understanding of the important role secondary schools play in shaping the future of their students, the suite of Victorian Schools Curriculum aligned programs can be tailored to ensure we are meeting the specific needs of your students.

Key Features
Becoming a Priority Partner School with Swinburne gives your school access to a range of funded programs, resources and experiences designed to enrich learning, support teaching and raise students’ aspirations.
Free for partner schools
Funded by the Australian Government’s Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program, the Priority Schools Program is free for participating schools. Swinburne is committed to fostering a collaborative relationship with secondary schools, and this program is our way of ensuring equitable access to all our university has to offer across the entire school community.
Curriculum enrichment
Opportunities for teachers and students to access Swinburne’s cutting edge teaching spaces, equipment and of course our experts across a broad range of subjects.
Career Aspiration
Our Launch Now! program is tailored to empower students to explore and refine their career aspirations and academic pathways. We offer workshops, seminars, and resources aimed at helping students identify their interests and strengths, laying the foundation for informed career decisions and building academic skills to help students reach their goals.
Children's University
An international program available exclusively at Swinburne University in Victoria. We partner with schools to increase student engagement and celebrate learning. The Children's University program focuses on raising aspirations for higher education, enhancing academic preparedness and attainment, developing transferable skills for both study and work, and fostering student networks and a sense of belonging.
Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP)
The Priority Schools Partnership program is supported by the Commonwealth Department of Education’s Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP) to engage children and young people in extra-curricular learning, support aspirations, and enhance access and pathways into higher education, particularly for low SES and Indigenous students.
