Adult Education Provision

Students who are 21 years of age and over at the time of enrolment and have not completed secondary schooling are eligible to enrol to complete the SACE. Students will be required to complete a SACE Pathways Plan that will be developed in partnership between the student and College. The plan will outline the agreed learning pathway that the student intends to undertake to complete their SACE.

Students over 21 years of age have the same choice of options to complete SACE as every other student. This includes completing Stage 1 (Year 11) and Stage 2 (Year 12) or undertaking VET courses or using adult status within their completion package.

Student counsellors will provide further clarification during the enrolment interview.
