Student Story

"I was homeschooling prior to studying at The Gordon. My mum and I were looking for a way for me to integrate back into the education system. 

 love it here in my Work Ed, Transition Ed course here at The Gordon.  It is great because I can work at my own pace, and I still have structure.  The teachers are awesome too.  Having undertaken a variety of tasters, I now know I like working with animals and plants.  This has found me choosing a  work placement in a local plant nursery. In addition, the life skills I have learnt in this course helped me apply for my new job at Kmart!"
