As students progress to senior years, their need for independence increases. This may involve pursuing VET studies at a Brimbank school cluster or travelling across Melbourne for post-year 12 education. Throughout Term 4, several students participated in small group Travel Training to build confidence. They learned how to navigate public transport systems by selecting the appropriate travel mode, reading timetables, understanding maps, and ensuring safety.
Local libraries supported the students by providing memberships, allowing them to borrow books, enjoy free gaming, and participate in holiday and after-school programs. During a trip to the city, our students’ impeccable manners were rewarded with free gameplay time at an arcade, a testament to their excellent conduct and respect for others.
These excursions enabled students to connect with others in their community and engage in activities outside the western suburbs. Everyone had fun and learned more about their fellow SASC students’ goals and ambitions after graduating from Year 12.
