Real-world subjects

The best way to learn is to see how what you’re learning relates to what you want to achieve … at least that’s what our students tell us.

The curriculum at the Marcellin Technical College has been built on trade principles.

Our SACE course has been designed specifically for Australian School-based Apprentices. But we have taken the traditional school subjects such as English, Mathematics and Australian Studies, and reworked them so they are have greater meaning and relevance to the Australian workplace. They still satisfy all the requirements of your Year 12 studies under SACE, but they are now within an industry context:

• English focuses on "Workplace Communication"
• Mathematics focuses on  " Maths for Industry "
• Health focuses on "Being Fit for Work "
• Science focuses on the "Trade Principles" behind each individual trade

This way of learning develops a student’s skills beyond the technical nature of the trade – they’re learning business and life skills but in the context of making themselves more employable.
