STAR - (Secondary Tertiary Alignment Resource) an opportunity for learning beyond the school’s curriculum.
STAR funding allows students to access transition to workplace or tertiary training courses. It assists students in making career pathway decisions, or to achieve at a level that the school cannot provide. In the past the school has assisted students in a variety of areas including: Food Safety, Barista, Tourism, Snow Sports, Agriculture, Automotive, Health Studies, First Aid, Forklift course, University extension courses and Polytechnic Taster Courses.
STAR is not a subject; courses are advertised during the year and students can apply to join these or they will be invited based on their Career aspirations. Generally, there will be no cost associated with course fees or materials.
STAR funding is limited and is used for Senior students.
