THE TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT

“Vocational education programmes have made a real difference in the lives of countless young people nationwide. They allow students to utilize their unique gifts and talents.” ~Conrad Burns~ Mrs. Stacey Abraham, and her dedicated team of teachers in the Technical Vocational Department contribute greatly to the diversity of our subject offerings, and fuel the holistic development of students at our institution. These students leave Signal Hill Secondary with the advantage of having skills that give them the purview to start their own thriving businesses or fit into jobs with hefty remuneration packages.
