Making the right choice in regards to your senior subject choices for next year is an important process. You need to consider what subjects you enjoy and are good at, and also any subjects that may be important to your post-school plans. Below are a series of links and videos that will provide you with lots of information so that you are making an informed choice. Mr Turner, our school's Careers Adviser, is happy to talk further with students about future directions, University, TAFE, apprenticeships or any other information that may help with making wise subject choices for next year.

EVET (Externally delivered VET course)

SBAT - School-based Apprenticeship and Traineeship

Another potential option for your child is an SBAT. These allow students to complete the first year of an apprenticeship while still at school. Students who take on a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship are motivated young people who don’t just want to plan their future career, they want to experience it now. Managing an SBAT can be difficult so important questions to consider are:

• Is this a career I’m interested in?

• Can I handle school, work and training along with family and community commitments?

• Do I have a support network around me to help along the way? Teachers, careers adviser, transition advisor, parents/carers, friends, mentors etc.

• Can I make travel arrangements to get myself to work and training on time?

If you answered YES to the questions above, an SBAT may be a great option for you. Come and have a chat with Mr Turner to discuss this option further.
