Engineering and Construction Program

SACE Subject Packages


This program has been developed with input from industry partners to prepare students for the engineering and construction industries with both ATAR and apprenticeship/traineeship pathways.

Students will receive a badged trade uniform for the practical and out-of-school elements of the program. Students will be led in a high-challenge, high-expectation atmosphere combined with intensive mentoring and high levels of support to progress through the program. This will include mentoring and guidance beyond school for a period of six months to ensure a smooth transition into either apprenticeship or university pathways.
