What is Gateway?

Gateway offers our students the opportunity to experience structured workplace learning in Year 12 and 13.  This programme is designed to allow us to meet the learning needs of our students through providing them with both traditional and workplace learning.  This learning is assessed against unit and/or achievement standards on the National Qualifications Framework.
When integrated with their current programme of study, Gateway is a significant career opportunity, not just work experience.

What have been the benefits for the students?

By being involved in Gateway, students have had the opportunity to use the skills and knowledge they have gained in study and life experience and apply them to a workplace context.  They have been able to gain insight into working life while learning skills in specific industries.  In many cases the initiatives have given the students a head start on their chosen careers or have lead to further training opportunities such as Modern Apprenticeships and industry training.

How do students become involved?

If you are interested in learning more about Gateway, come to the Careers Office and speak with one of the staff about the responsibilities and opportunities associated with this programme.
