Alesco College Wins Grant By Marian SAMPSON
ALSECO offers an alternative learning environment for some students who have found the mainstream schools unable to meet their needs. The Alesco College at Nelson Bay is hosted by the PCYC and has 27 students participating in years nine and ten. The local Westpac branch has pitched in to help the Alesco Senior College in Nelson Bay, so they can continue the great work they are doing in our area. Jason Russell, manager of the Nelson Bay Westpac Branch told News Of The Area, “Personally I think they deserve broader recognition and awareness of the service they are providing to our community.” The Alesco Senior College specifically targets those young people who are unlikely to find success in a traditional school environment.
