Finishing school can leave a big gap between what a young person has learned in the classroom and what they need to navigate adult life.
Our Year 13 programs give students more time to learn, practise and experience the skills that matter beyond school, with learning shaped around their strengths, interests and future goals.
Students have opportunities to take what they learn and apply it in practical situations, helping new skills become useful skills they can carry into everyday life.
Every young person brings different strengths, interests, abilities and goals. Year 13 uses personalised learning to help each student work towards progress that is meaningful for them.
Year 13 brings together structured teaching and practical experience, giving students opportunities to develop skills in different environments and understand how they apply to everyday adult life.
Year 13 has been developed from more than 22 years of experience in education and a clear understanding of the challenges young people can face when moving from school into adult life.
The focus is purposeful learning that helps students build real skills, recognise what they are capable of and feel better prepared for whatever comes next.
Developed by a qualified secondary teacher with extensive experience in post-school transition.
Learning is adapted around individual strengths, interests, needs and goals.
Students learn through a combination of structured teaching and real-world experiences.
Every part of the program connects back to life beyond school and the student’s next steps.
There is no single pathway that suits every young person. Year 13 gives students opportunities to explore their strengths, build practical skills and work towards goals that reflect what they want from adult life.
Learning is personalised and progress is considered in relation to the individual, rather than expecting every student to reach the same milestone at the same time.
The goal is to help each young person leave Year 13 with stronger skills, greater confidence and a clearer direction for their future.
Each Year 13 program focuses on a different part of adult life, giving students the opportunity to build skills that reflect their individual goals, interests and support needs.
Every young person deserves to feel welcomed, respected, valued and part of the group.
We build practical skills that help students make more decisions, take greater responsibility and do more for themselves.
Students are encouraged to recognise their strengths, develop their voice and make informed choices about their future.
Progress looks different for everyone. We recognise each student’s strengths and celebrate meaningful progress along the way.
Positive relationships with families, workplaces, educators and the wider community can open doors to new experiences and opportunities.
Give your young person another year to learn, practise, explore and prepare for what comes after school.
