SPCC Cessnock SmartTrack 2024
Welcome to SPCC Cessnock SmartTrack 2024 - where the HSC is reimagined, and Senior Secondary education is transformed. Are you ready to push the boundaries of traditional learning and embark on a journey of real-world, authentic, and collaborative project-based learning?
At SmartTrack, we believe in developing young people's agency, independence, and responsibility. We offer a non-ATAR pathway, with no HSC examinations, and instead focus on preparing students for industry through our HSC SmartTrack Employability Outcomes program. This program provides students with coaching, assessment, and practical opportunities to develop employability skills for life beyond school.
Our program has three main components. The addVENTURE Program integrates Work Studies, English Studies, and Mathematics Standard 1 into term-long, real-world, project-based units of learning in a dedicated SmartTrack class. Taught in block delivery by our experienced HSC SmartTrack teacher, who is supported by HSC SmartTrack Coaches, faith formation and development are integrated into the program. This program makes up 6 x HSC units for students.
In addition, our VET courses offer students the opportunity to gain valuable industry qualifications on-site at SPCC or externally through other providers. This opens doors to employment, further study, and university entry. And our Industry Engagement Program takes our students out of the classroom and into the workforce. Every HSC SmartTrack student spends 1 day/week working in industry, applying the employability skills they are developing in their studies. Whether working in volunteer work experience, paid employment, or a school-based traineeship/apprenticeship (SBAT), this program also contributes indicative hours to the completion of the Work Studies course as well as potentially for Industry-Based Learning Course credit.
At SPCC Cessnock SmartTrack 2024, we embrace an alternative uniform that reflects our adult learning environment philosophy. And we offer flexible learning times, which allow our students to engage in industry and manage their time during the school week.
Join us for an exciting, new way of doing the HSC. Enrol now in SPCC Cessnock SmartTrack 2024 and let us help you reimagine your senior secondary education.
