Our Approach to Education

We offer a range of pathways and employment-focused VET courses designed to assist young people in closing individual skills gaps, developing language, positive behaviours and social skills, and gaining knowledge and skills that are prerequisites for further study or a pathway to employment. Younger students study programs aligned to the Australian Curriculum, aimed at assisting them to return to mainstream schooling.
