School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships in NSW.
School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBAT) are more than just part-time jobs - they’re a great way to set yourself up for the career you want whilst you are completing your HSC.
School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships are available to all Year 10, 11 and 12 high school students in NSW. They allow students to commence an apprenticeship or complete a traineeship while at school.
A School Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship combines paid work, training and school; and as well as an industry recognised national qualification you will gain credit towards the HSC.
Some apprenticeships and traineeships can contribute towards the ATAR.

Guest Speaker - Jon Izzard - Regional Australia Bank.
Last week Jon Izzard from Regional Australia Bank came to our school to talk to our Year 9 and 10 students about:
- career opportunities in the banking industry
- Importance of being part of a rural community (e.g. what you do at the golf club)
- importance of ‘soft skills’ in the bank industry
- factors that prevent people from working in the banking industry
- the importance of having your own bank account before you commence work
- types of bank accounts
- how to open a bank account
It was great to hear how Jon has worked throughout Australia in the Banking industry and what the banking industry can offer its employees. Thank you Jon for sharing your knowledge and experiences with our students.
