Discover Opportunities With Whitsunday Christian College

In the age of ample decisions for what to pursue after high school, Whitsunday Christian College is providing all the tools for students to discover their tertiary options and gain relevant experience before graduating.

Beginning the tertiary education journey while in Year 10 allows students plenty of time to discover their options and discover what they wish to pursue after graduation.

At Whitsunday Christian College students are shown pathways for whatever industry or tertiary education they wish to pursue.

Having partnered with TAFE Queensland, Binnacle and Skills Generation, the College is able to host certificate training for students, as well as sign on for SchoolBased Apprenticeships with local business for students.

This is compounded with internal onsite certificate facilitators who are able to offer certificates in Information Technology Skills and Engineering, which leads into a certificate four in Aviation.

“We can facilitate learning with the distance education provider, if a student wants to do a certificate that we don’t offer, we partner with a registered training organisation to deliver that certificate,” explained College Principal Kylie Langshore.

The College also has a good relationship with James Cook University, often hosting representatives of the university from different faculties, and transporting students to university open days and industry workshops.

No matter the pathway that students decide to pursue for tertiary education, Whitsunday Christian College is able to facilitate relevant and valuable certificates or pre-requisite education.

The small class sizes at the College allow for close, intimate learning opportunities for students, where the teacher is able to closely monitor the education and wellbeing of each of their students within the classroom.

“What these small classrooms offer is a very personalised approach to learning, particularly in our senior years,” said Mrs Langshore.

The College has a dedicated Senior Pathways Coordinator, Mrs Phoebe Lam, who oversees senior students as they navigate their tertiary options, and shares with them relevant news, opportunities, and industry trends.

This level of dedicated care begins in the early stages of the College, with the specialty Get Ready for Prep Program that helps prepare the youngest learners for
