Trade Pathway Program (TPP)

An optional, select entry, Year 9 program, run through local training providers, providing insight on what it would be like to undertake Vocational Preparation pathways in Year 10 and beyond.

Trade Pathways Program (TPP)

The Trade Pathways Program caters for youth who are passionate about working in the trade industry. Typically, students are serious about successfully completing certificates, workplace learning and courses that will prepare them for industry apprenticeships when they complete their Senior Schooling. It is our expectation and experience that students in the Trade Pathways Program approach their work with a high degree of focus in the workshop, the workplace and the classroom.

• Each Trade Pathways program placement operates for one term only and for one day per week, usually on a Thursday.

• Students who are selected to be in this program enrol in a full Year 9 Program.

• This does not take the place of an elective.

• Teachers are then advised which classes students will miss each week on the relevant Trade Pathways Program day, so their learning tasks can be adjusted to accommodate participation in this program.

• Students are expected to communicate with their teachers to stay up to date with any missed class work.

This program is purely experiential and there is no certified qualification/s associated with completion of the Trade Pathways Program.
