St Joseph's High School
|
| St Joseph’s High School is a part of Louise Place: |
- The school is for pregnant and parenting young women who wish to continue or resume their education.
- As all our students have special circumstances the school is very flexible in the method of delivery and subject content.
- Students come from a variety of backgrounds - some straight from school, others may have gaps in their schooling and still others may not have completed Year 9 or 10.
- Young women do not have to be residents of Louise Place in order to access the school.
|
| At St Joseph's students are able to achieve SACE within flexible guidelines: |
- Entry into subjects can be obtained at any time of the year and each student is individually taught. Contact should be made with the Education Officer at Louise Place on 8179 3305.
- Where students wish to study subjects not available at St Joseph's, they are encouraged to use the Open Access College or other institutions. Open Access can be used for all Year 12 subjects. This form of distance education is done by telephone and St Joseph's assists students to achieve their goals. Students may also undertake VET and TAFE subjects.
- Throughout their contact with St Joseph’s High School, students receive assistance in determining their future study / career pathways.
- Although other year levels can be accessed most subjects are Stage 1 (Year 11).
Students may enrol at any time during the academic year. All students have individual and flexible timetables.
All students have the advantage of being with other young women who are in similar circumstances.
An integral part of the school is the provision of child minding in the Day Centre where babies through to pre-schoolers are cared for and involved in activities to promote cognitive, emotional and physical development. The cost for this service is minimal.
