ENGAGE - EMPOWER - EVOLVE
At Real Life Education (RLE), we empower young people through mentoring, clinical support, and education. We believe that every young person, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to thrive.
Our holistic approach ensures that all individuals feel seen, heard, and valued as they navigate real-world challenges, build confidence, and reach their full potential. We provide practical, tailored support to meet the unique needs of each young person—whether through mentoring to guide their journey, clinical expertise to support well-being, or educational pathways to help them succeed.
At RLE, inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. We welcome and support young people from all walks of life, ensuring they have access to the guidance and resources they need to build a brighter future.
Real life doesn’t come with a handbook, but with the right support, every young person can find their path—and we’re here to help them every step of the way.

What's happening at rle
Adam & JT at The Rugby League Cares Q1 Club Wellbeing Managers Meeting
Discussing their journeys so far, the impact RLE is having on children and young people and how rugby league equips players with invaluable transferable skills into other careers, including MENTORING.
Our model combines our in-house clinical team & mentoring service - engaging, empowering and evolving vulnerable young people and the team around the child with bespoke programmes, interventions and training. It’s this combination
of professionals and life experienced aspirational mentors and coaches that has proven to have a transformative effect.
We look forward to offering the opportunity of joining the growing RLE team to many more current professional rugby league players - especially those who are going part time and those who are transitioning out of the game.
'YOU CAN TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND'
RLE Mentor Suaia Matagi instills a never give up mindset and encourages our young people to continue to chase their dreams.
'My new sense of purpose is to help inspire people to not make the same mistakes that I did - and show those who have made bad choices that it isn't over when you hit prison or go the wrong way and I am proof of that, my story helps light up the path towards success'

'Real Life Education is imperative towards the development of our children in which we care for. A child who we currently care for, has not always engaged in education and due to this has suffered many delays in their ability to be able progress in educational settings. Since our young person has been engaging with RLE, their complete concept has changed. Our young person has built strong relationships with their mentors who visit the home through the week and feels supported by them. The RLE mentors incorporate real life experience into their mentoring which in turn, offers a different concept over day to day thinking and ways in which we can adapt ourselves to change. RLE offer not only one to one sessions with our young person but have incorporated activities. Activities that our young person has chosen themselves and not chosen for them. Our young person is progressing each week and has built on skills such as independence in the community, the ability to adapt to change and is able to mirror the behaviors their mentor display’s. Our young person has only been with us for a short period of time and we have seen heaps of progression so far! The entire package that is available is amazing! I hope RLE grow as a company as a whole and take their services worldwide as many other children services would really benefit from having mentors like these guys. I can honestly say they will change lives for the better. So a big thankyou to all of you. Especially our in house mentor currently. The work you do is incredible. I couldn’t praise this service more. I look forward to building and completing these journey’s with our young people with you guys to create positive outcomes for the future.'

'Real Life Education (RLE) has been implemented in the home to support our young person who had previously struggled in education settings.
The young person we work with had not been attending education and was completely disengaged from the idea of it. We made sure that RLE was implemented from the offset of her moving to us and part of her daily routine. Upon meeting the guys and her mentor, it was clear she felt they were someone she could form a good working relationship with and would understand her needs well. A clear and robust plan was scheduled, allowing her to feel a sense of control over her education- a critical aspect to success with young people who have experienced difficulties around education. This plan included activities and sessions that she could enjoy, as well as gaining the skills needed to engage with education in an outside of the box way of thinking. Our young person has thrived in this area and expresses how much she loves this part of her day. We have seen progress in her sleep routine, self- esteem and mental wellbeing.
The team around her have been second to none and provide positive role models for her to mirror. The course has given skills such as resilience, self-discipline, routine, structure and boundaries to the young person who is going from strength to strength. The relationship she has with her mentor is nurturing and respectful as well as fun and understanding- who we now consider a valued member of our in house team.
The package is exceptional and we owe the team providing the package a standing ovation.
What a success story we have built!'
