Learning

Learning will focus on relevant skills and industry-based training that leads to employment, apprenticeship opportunities or further tertiary-level study. Students will still get to take part in school sports and clubs and catch up with friends at school. Having access to both school and tertiary support services also helps with a smoother pathway into the workplace or education beyond school.
