Industry (or vocational) pathways provide students with clear, practical routes into a wide range of industries.
These pathways connect school learning with real-world skills, helping students explore career options while gaining relevant experience and industry-recognised knowledge.

Whether students are interested in trades, primary industries, services, or technology, vocational pathways offer flexible options that can lead directly into apprenticeships, employment, or further study. They are designed to keep doors open while giving students a strong sense of direction and purpose.

Students interested in pursuing this route should make an appointment with Mr Bair or Mr Thomas to discuss the providers and qualifications in this area.
