Education+and+Pathways+in+Tasmania

EDUCATION AND PATHWAYS IN TASMANIA  Education is compulsory in Tasmania for people aged 6—16 years. After the age of 16, students may attend College or the Tasmanian Polytechnic and then University. Our centre is part of this post-compulsory sector.  Some Polytechnic and University courses have preparation programs to help new students before they enter. The Polytechnic has the Adult Tertiary Preparation, a course for those interested in further study. Many short vocational courses, computer skills, kitchen operations and housekeeping are advertised regularly and help to provide possible pathways for you.  An enrolling teacher will make an appointment to see you when they know you are finishing your hours of entitlement. During this meeting, you will discuss the progress you have made and talk about your future options. Your childcare will also be discussed.  There are a number of pathways to choose from after your hours are finished.  1.
