A different approach to high school

It’s high school... but different. You’ll enjoy a whole new way of learning, with a hands-on approach and experience that extends beyond the college walls.

Learn in state-of-the-art facilities with industry standard equipment, that’s more like a workplace than a classroom.

Tackle real-world problems based on industry needs. Instead of individual subjects, you’ll experience an inter-disciplinary learning program that has been developed in partnership with industry.

Learn alongside industry experts, gaining the skills and connections you need to put yourself in the best position to get a job after school.

Go directly into a job, an apprenticeship or traineeship, or pursue further studies.

You can even begin your university studies as part of your year 12 program, with automatic entry to a variety of related diploma and degree qualifications with South Australian universities. This means no ATAR is required for university.

­Support every step of the way

With a strong focus on coaching and mentoring, you’ll be supported every step of the way. Plus, this support will continue 12 months after school as you transition to work, an apprenticeship, traineeship, or further studies.

Technical colleges are government-funded and cover all program fees, laptops and uniforms.

Students enrolled in the Technical College are only required to pay the material and services charge for Findon High School which is likely to be less than $1000 per year.
