As part of SchoolTech, a mentoring/pastoral program will operate. This will be conducted by SchoolTech staff and will allow a smooth transition for students moving from school to an adult learning environment.
SchoolTech also provides access to a Guidance Officer, school-based Police Officer, School Nurse and Youth Counsellor.
In addition to this support, TAFE Queensland has a comprehensive Student Support Services unit with a range of support systems. Workplace Health and Safety is a key priority of TAFE Queensland and Workplace Health and Safety officers are available in all areas across the Cairns campus. It is envisaged that students in the program will have ‘home rooms’ for core subjects and these rooms will act as a base for classes and mentoring sessions.
