Secondary Tertiary Alignment Resource (STAR) |
|
STAR is an established programme used by the school to meet the identified learning needs of senior students in Classes 9-12 that cannot be catered for in the school curriculum.
 In particular, it is used to:
- Facilitate transition to the workplace for students intending to go straight into the workforce or likely to leave school without any formal qualifications.
- Provide or purchase tertiary-type courses will motivate them to achieve, and which will facilitate their smooth transition to further education, training or employment.
- Support students to explore career pathways, and help them make informed decisions future work or study.
- It provides a chance to try out possible career choices and gain new skills that are appropriate to the workplace.
- The funding may be used to provide courses at school or with external providers and can lead to qualifications.
- It can allow students to experience a different learning environment and can provide practical ‘hands on” work-based experience.
