Journey to success: what do we do?
We meet once a fortnight to work on projects related to life and work in Australia.
There's three main features to our course:
1. We learn about the range of work and career opportunities in Australia in our Career Investigation Task;
2. We learn pathways into further learning by visiting Jesmond Campus, Newcastle TaFE and The University of Newcastle;
3. We work together as a group to identify an issue that's important to all of us, in our local and/or school community, before we create either a solution or raise awareness about that issue. Our project work usually also helps us to understand skills and expectations for work, such as Employment Related Skills.
