Our Future: TaPP & VET

At Corpus Christi, we believe in maximising student learning outcomes and life opportunities. Through a variety of experiences we aim to instil hope in our students for a promising future. Our comprehensive support networks are designed to guide students as they navigate through their educational journey.

Our offerings include the Transition and Pathway Program (TaPP), Vocational Education and Training Courses such as Entertainment, Construction, Information Technology, Business Services and Hospitality, TVET and EVET, Structured Workplace Learning, Work Experience, Work Readiness Program and School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBATs). These programs provide practical skills and real-world experiences to prepare students for success beyond the classroom.

Furthermore, our school community maintains strong connections  with the Regional Industry Educational Partnership (RIEP), University of Wollongong, local businesses, TAFE and Workplace Learning Illawarra. These partnerships offer additional opportunities and resources for our students to explore and pursue their interests.

A unique opportunity available at Corpus Christi is the HSC plus program. This dual qualification option combines the Higher School Certificate with a Certificate II or III, equivalent to the first year of a TAFE course. By staying at school, students can pursue external training courses in a familiar and supportive environment.

Our commitment to student success is evident in our Transition and Pathway Program, which provides contemporary career education lessons for students in Year 7 and 10. These lessons equip students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to make informed decisions about their future study and career options. We empower students to manage their own career pathways and make informed choices about their future endeavours.

 Additionally, students have access to Pathway Meetings with our Transition and Pathway Specialist, resume writing workshops and opportunities to up-skill through white card and first aid training. Our school also offers a wide range of incursions and excursions, opening doors to endless possibilities for our students such as the career day at Airshows Downunder and the annual Illawarra Careers Expo.

At Corpus Christi High School, we are committed to nurturing the aspirations of our students and preparing them for a bright and successful future. Join us as we embark on a journey of learning, growth and endless possibilities.
