Some of our Year 12 students will be moving to full-time work and apprenticeships prior to their graduation and we are super proud and excited for these boys.

He will cover all the information that you need regarding an ASBA, which trades are applicable, how to secure your ASBA, what paperwork is required and how to balance school, work and CIT.
