Have you seen our new STEMM bus?
The wonderful people at Suncoast Community Telco donated this 12 seater bus to STEMM so that we can pick up the STEMM participants and their children. We are very thankful for this extraordinary donation from such an amazing local company.

What we do

Our multi-award winning program supports pregnant girls and young mothers in a safe, non-judgemental environment with individual support plans developed by trained case managers.

Each girl will be given the opportunity to develop lifeskills, parenting, self-worth, healthy relationships, pre & post birth plans and physical & emotional well-being.

In partnership with Education Queensland, TAFE and the University of the Sunshine Coast, girls will be able to engage with learning pathways towards certified outcomes.

All girls are given the opportunity to develop their mothering skills through access to a variety of experts involved in maternity services, breastfeeding, child health and Child & Youth Mental Health Services (C.Y.M.H.S)

All participants are individually matched with carefully selected and trained mentors.

 

Christmas in July - Hollywood Style
Fundraising Dinner

STEMM's night of nights, held on Saturday 23rd July, 2011 was a huge success. 225 guests enjoyed a wonderful night proudly sponsored by Stockland. There was delicious food catered by Artie and Suzie Vella (Cupcake Tea House & Nambour Plaza Quality Meats), entertaining music provided by local Sunshine Coast band 3 Moon Junction & special guest Troy Strathern, laughter provided by the old school photobooth donated for the evening by PhotoBooth Moments and professional photography by Tania Stanley photography. As well as over fifty silent auction items, twenty raffle prizes and five unique live auction items and experiences up for grabs. 

Seven students graduated on the night, with six of them starting university this week and one achieving employment in the childcare industry through her Certificate III qualifications completed at the STEMM program. 

The STEMM program staff and students would like to say a very special thank you to all the wonderful people and businesses that donated to and/or attended our even. Without the continued support of the community, the STEMM program can not be sustained.
