Work and the Community Life Skills Stage 6 Syllabus (2015)

The Work and the Community Life Skills course is designed to prepare students to transition into adult life in a way that reflects the evolving nature of the role of work in our communities. The course develops students’ literacy and numeracy, self-determination, independence, social participation and employability skills so that they have the confidence to recognise themselves as valuable contributors to society and to know what support is available for them. It is expected that all students enrolled in this course will gain practical experience in contributing to the community and the workforce.
