Southside Education is a community access school in Sunnybank, Brisbane. It provides an alternative education model for young women who have been marginalised by society and have not been able to complete their education in a traditional school setting. Southside is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team of teachers, counsellor, youth workers, and family workers.

Southside believes that all young people have a right to an education. We believe education means preparing all young people for a fulfilling and active life in the community. Southside provides a truly supportive school environment where students are treated with unconditional positive regard.
