(Secondary Tertiary Alignment Resource) is an important grant used by Waitaki Girls' High School to meet the identified learning needs of our senior students. This is an excellent resource available for students to assist them in their career or subject choices.

The objectives of STAR are to:

• provide flexible funding for courses which will better respond to students’ needs, motivate them to achieve, and facilitate their smooth transition to further education, training or employment
• support students to explore career pathways and help them make informed decisions about their schooling and future work or study.

To learn more about this and to identify whether you may qualify for assistance, please make an appointment to see Mrs Hay.

STAR Short courses students have been involved in the past:

• University of Canterbury Stage One papers in Maths and Economics
  
• Barista training
  
• Defensive driving
• First Aid
• Allowing students to attend careers expos, individual courses and tertiary open days
