Shoretrack has been officially recognized as a special assistance trades school, set to provide a tailored curriculum for students in Year 9 and Year 10 starting in the 2024 academic year. This initiative aims to support Nambucca Valley students who face social, emotional, or behavioural challenges, offering them a new pathway to education.
The program is designed to engage students in practical learning experiences while addressing their unique needs. By focusing on trades-based education, Shoretrack aims to equip these young individuals with valuable skills that can lead to future employment opportunities. The announcement brings hope to families in the Nambucca Valley, where educational resources for students facing such challenges can be limited.
Shoretrack’s curriculum will include a variety of hands-on trade subjects, allowing students to explore different fields while developing essential life skills. This approach not only fosters academic growth but also promotes personal development, helping students to build confidence and resilience.
The decision to establish this special assistance trades school aligns with broader efforts to improve educational outcomes for all students. By providing an inclusive environment where students can thrive, Shoretrack aims to bridge the gap for those who may struggle in traditional academic settings.
Local educators and community leaders have expressed their support for the initiative, emphasizing its potential to transform the educational landscape in the region. As the school prepares for its inaugural year, it will work closely with families and local businesses to ensure that the curriculum meets the needs of students and the job market.
Overall, the introduction of the trades-based curriculum at Shoretrack represents a significant step forward for Nambucca Valley students facing challenges in their educational journeys. With the launch scheduled for 2024, the community is optimistic about the positive impact this initiative will have on young lives.
