Life Skills at the Ready
The Year 12 ACCESS Transition Program is a unique opportunity for our students to participate in workshops, which will assist their transition to life beyond school.
Our graduating ACCESS girls have enjoyed a great range of activities both in our Careers Centre and outside the College throughout the week.
Activities have included:
- Financial literacy talk by a guest from the Commonwealth Bank
- Responsible Service of Alcohol training
- Resume writing
- Senior First Aid course
- Tasty Tuesday – Students were given a budget, planned, shopped, prepared and served a meal to a guest invited to share lunch with them.
- Barista training at a Perth Coffee School
- Beauty Day at WA Academy of Beauty
This has been a wonderful conclusion to the ACCESS program, which has seen our students gain a number of VET Certificates and experience a range of work places, TAFE and employment opportunities. Â We wish the girls the best of luck in their pursuits in their future studies and employment.
The Value of Student Voice – Jennifer Oaten
“At Santa Maria College, we are not only given the opportunity, but we are encouraged by our teachers and each other to voice our opinions, concerns and ideas—to continue moving forward as a school and as a community. Student voice is integral for growth, and allows for us, as students to have an active role in shaping our education.”
