Albion Park High School
Senior Subject Selections for 2027
TRANSITION 2 WORK Program
In recent years, Albion Park High School developed a program for our senior students called REVS, which focused on Retention, Engagement and Vocational Skills. This program has had a makeover, with its focus now being on transitioning students from school to the workplace. As such, it has been re-named the Transition2Work program.
This program has similar features to the previous program in that it does not involve a traditional Preliminary and HSC pattern of study. This is because we are hoping it will allow our students to transition successfully into the workplace before they complete their Year 12 HSC year.
The Transition2Work program aims to engage students with their education and provide them with the opportunity to develop employability and workplace skills. A significant aspect of this education and skill development is a compulsory Work Experience Placement (WEP) that is to take place every Friday. More information about this placement is given to the students in the program. This WEP gives further opportunity for our senior students to gain employment in the field of their choosing and henceforth, allow them to leave school.
Students who take on the Transition2Work program are also required to study and satisfactorily complete courses in:
· Mathematics Standard
· English Studies
· Work Studies
· Sport, Lifestyle and Recreation
· Two VET courses, choosing one courses from Construction, Business Services, Primary Industries (Agriculture) and either Hospitality, Metals and Engineering or Fitness
· Optional TVET/EVET courses offered by TAFE
This pattern of study will allow a student to still obtain a HSC qualification (dependent on selection of courses) but without an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR). This means they are unable to gain direct entry from school into a university course.
In saying this, involvement in TAFE courses (particularly Cert.IV and Diplomas) or satisfying requirements to be a mature-aged student, will still allow entry into university in the future. These courses are also developing workplace skills and allow students to gain nationally recognised qualifications in their chosen areas of interest.
