If you know a young person who is wanting to complete their SACE but struggling with traditional schooling, you can find more information about Compass and the process of referring students to Compass, within the article by clicking on the title above.
The first round of undergraduate university offers in South Australia have been made this week.
This is a time of trepidation for many young people. For some, this is also an exciting time but for others it might be tinged with disappointment.
It is helpful for young people to know that what they decide to do next year after leaving school will be just one of many career steps in their lives. Self-worth does not hinge on one decision, an ATAR, a job or an offer for tertiary study.
This week is National Skills Week. The week is dedicated to raising the status of practical and vocational learning. Many senior secondary school students in Catholic Schools, Catholic Technical Colleges and Catholic Trade Training Centre, undertake VET qualifications as part of their SACE learning. Catholic Education South Australia supports the skill development of all students.
