Year 12 Gateway
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms A. Dezoete.
Dream, Discover, Decide: Your Gateway to Career Success
Gateway offers students the opportunity to explore their future study and career options. It opens a new pathway from school to employment/ on-the-job training/ tertiary study by combining school study and vocational courses with work-based learning. The expectation in this course is that students will attend a work placement for between two and ten days, from Term 2 onwards, and complete an individual learning plan of industry-based credits relating to their chosen area of work. Students need to be proactive when organising their work placement by approaching organisations/ businesses in their industry of interest.
Career Opportunities include: Architecture & Engineering, Design, Early Childcare, Education, Health, Hospitality & Travel, Media & Communications, Sport & Recreation and a wide selection of trades.
