TRANSITION TO TERTIARY STUDY - SUPPORT AND WELLBEING
This year we have again placed a priority on the programs to assist the Year 12 cohort with transitioning to tertiary study, feeling supported and settling in.
- Wellbeing and student support program run by our Wellbeing Coordinator.
- We provide both in person one on one and online study support including time management, literacy, study skills, organisational and learning support. There is an emphasis on the transition to a tertiary environment and what that means for students.
