School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SATs)

Some students, interested in pursuing careers in trades or service related industries, may wish to take up the option of undertaking a School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship. This pathway allows students to study four days each week on a reduced load of five subjects. The additional day is spent in the workplace, where students have the opportunity to gain valuable industry based experience. Students also work towards completing a nationally-recognised qualification which serves the dual purpose of enhancing the student's resume as well as reducing the amount of time required to complete post Year 12 studies. This pathway also provides opportunities for employers, with Work Experience and SAT students providing an alternative to standard recruitment methods.

Vocational Education

Vocational Education courses may be undertaken by students participating in either ATAR or Rank pathways.
