What’s it like in Foundation Studies?

Students study employability, maths and English as well as learning a range of skills such as horticulture, ICT and customer service.

Students get involved in enterprise tasks and community-based activities, such as raising money for charity, volunteering in the community, making products to sell and organising events.

Preparation for the world of work is important. There are units to help students apply for jobs, interview practice, and the support of our Employment Coach.
