Gateway is made available to Year 12 and 13 students (Year 11 in exceptional circumstances), ideally in their final year of school. Students must have a clear idea of which industry they wish to pursue a career in, have the ability to gain at least 20 credits offered in this subject, and be work ready.  In the past the Gateway programme has had students working in a range of industries such as Automotive, Early Childhood, Farming, Horticulture, Construction and Hairdressing. An individualised study programme includes Workplace Health & Safety, Workplace First Aid, generic Careers and vocational unit standards.

All costs associated with this programme, including PPE gear, are covered by the school.

Please show your interest by attending the evening meeting in Term 3 and filling in the Gateway application form available from Mrs Borrie.  Also choose Gateway as one of your subjects.  However, registering your interest does not necessarily mean that you have been selected for the Gateway programme. An interview may also be required. Only students who have shown that they are reliable will be considered for Gateway.  The Tertiary Education Commission provides funding for a fixed number of domestic students so places in the Gateway programme are limited.
