WHO STUDIES TRADES?

All students in Year 10 and 11 are required to undertake the four trade areas as part of their course for the year.

 

In Year 11 and 12, depending on which pathway the student has selected, students will attend their Trade subjects once a week and may elect the option of having an extra day in  the Trade area.
