WelcomefromthePrincipal

“Our students benefit from the numerous relationships and partnerships currently in place with industry, educational institutions, and support agencies. We will foster and develop these partnerships to continue to provide unique advantages to Sevenoaks students.”

As you explore your opportunities, we bring your attention to several programs which you might consider during your time with us. We have expanded our university pathway offerings through the Curtin UniReady program which will enable you to study four university units, whilst completing Year 12. Completing UniReady successfully will give you an automatic qualification to enter some undergraduatecoursesatCurtinUniversity.

We are also mindful that many of our students work part-time whilst studying with us or will need to work to fund future career aspirations e.g. University, TAFE. So, we have introduced opportunities for students to gain industry standard competenciesthroughbaristatraining(makingcoffeeforourcaféculture),FirstAid CertificatesandanindustrylevelWhiteCardfocussedonsafetyintheconstruction industry.
