YEAR 12 - TAFE

Did you know you can become an accountant, a cyber security manager or an engineer through TAFE?

After the HSC is done and dusted, some big conversations are going to be happening around the dinner table. Many families will get lost in discussions over University offers and ATAR cut-offs.

But TAFE should also be at the centre of the conversation. This is because educators like TAFE NSW have more to offer today than ever before. In fact, we’ve found students and parents alike are often surprised at all the opportunities available.

YEAR 7 - 10 

During the past two weeks students in Years 7 - 10 have undertaken the first lesson of 4 planned for the year in the new Transition and Pathway Program (TAPP). This program aims to make students more aware of who they are by identifying their interests, values and strengths and then explore a range of career options that suit them. The feedback from these initial lessons has been wonderful and students are encouraged to continue exploring career options for their future.
