Gateway

Linda Barnett —

Gateway has offered an enjoyable and successful year for our students. Our 28 students managed to obtain an average of 30 credits each within their industry career choice.

Alyse Lilley received the Gateway Trophy for 1st in class for 2018. Along with many other Gateway students, Alyse managed to complete and pass every unit of work available to her.

The career choices selected this year by our students included Retail – customer service, building, accounting, business interns, IT – computer coding, video editing, programming, nursing, sports coaching, engineering – mechanical and aeronautical, vet nursing, bank officer and personal trainer.

Four of our Year 13 students were able to complete a Level 3 course in team work, which will help them toward their career goals.

We must thank all the businesses and organisations who have supported our Gateway programme this year. They provided work placements for our students to “test drive” their career choice and help them prepare for the real world of work. Without them our Gateway programme would not exist.
