Gateway / Work Readiness Programme

Image result for gateway school program nzThe Gateway team offers a cohesive strategy for supporting our students to make considered career choices. Gateway is offered to Year 12 and 13 students as a vocational pathway into the workforce. The Gateway programme consists of:

  • a work experience placement
  • the completion of 20 credits in class (in Gateway class or another industry-relevant class) 
  • additional specialist courses

 

Please note: Students can take a Gateway placement without enrolling in a timetabled Gateway Support class.

 

Gateway and work experience placements, as well as relevant units of work, are organised by the Gateway co-ordinator Ms Sarah Verran-Tye ([email protected]).

 

During the year, courses are offered to Gateway students as a priority, and then to all Year 12 and 13 students if places are available. These may include: 

  • First Aid
  • Health and Safety
  • Leadership
  • Security
  • Scaffolding 
  • Drivers’ Licences
  • Forklift operation and licences
