ED PATH:

Personalised Pathway Students choose either: SEVEN [7] from either Applied subjects or Certificates at Level II or III (including School-based Traineeships / Apprenticeships - SAT)

OR SIX [6] from either Applied subjects or Certificates at Level II or III (including School-based Traineeships / Apprenticeships -SAT) PLUS Work School CONNECT [WSC] This pathway does not lead to an ATAR. Students studying at Certificate III level or higher either in a classroom-based course or through a SAT need to consider their level of organisation and communication skills (written and electronic). Students are enrolled into Work-School CONNECT once per week; however, there are also Certificate alternatives running at this time to provide an additional qualification. No spares will be allocated for students electing to complete an additional Certificate course. Access to SATS – School-based Traineeships or Apprenticeships. Compulsory subjects:

Essential English


At least one Certificate course of study: school-based Cert II (VETiS*), Cert III (FFS** or SAT***) or Cert IV (FFS**); or off campus study at TAFE/other venue with a Registered Training Organisation

Work-School CONNECT *VETiS Vocational Education and Training in School Program: Government funded Cert IIs / students can access only ONE VETiS funded

course across Years 10-12 **FFS Fee for Service or User Pays [parents pay a fee] ***SAT School-based Traineeship or Apprenticeship (funded by government schemes)

Students who have already been studying Essential English and Essential Mathematics in Year 10 MUST select the Personalised Pathway in Year 11/12. Parents and students have been notified of this through communications by the HOD English and HOD Mathematics in Year 9 and throughout Year 10.
