Gateway
Course Entry Requirements
Students must have 85% attendance or greater in 2022 or entry is at the discretion of the Gateway Co-ordinator and Teacher in Charge. Students must have a genuine interest in and be committed to gaining real world placement or apprenticeship-type experience.
Course Outline
The Gateway programme is two fold. Unit standards are achieved in the classroom throughout the year, with work placement or on-job experience booked during term 2 and 3, one day a week, within each student’s chosen industry.
Additionally, industry related unit standards may be offered to further support student’s vocational pathway options. These unit standards are on-line, self-paced modules, that are supported by work placement days in the student’s related industry.
Gateway also provides an opportunity to strengthen networks in our local community and build skills targeted to enhance employment opportunities for our young men.
