SJAS +
Empowering Year 11 and 12 Students with SJAS +
SJAS + is a series of workshops and activities that complements existing offerings for Year 11 and 12 Students, with life skills, micro-credentials and well-being programs. Unlike traditional subjects, SJAS + is designed to provide certified and non-certified achievements that recognise specific skills. This allows students to build a portfolio of qualifications that support their personal and professional development, in addition to developing well-being and life skills.
SJAS + is more than just a class — it’s a future-focused initiative designed to empower students with the skills they need to thrive post-school. By integrating micro-credentials, well-being and life skills into their education, we ensure that Year 11 and 12 Students graduate not only knowledgeable but also resilient, confident, and ready for the challenges ahead.
The opportunities provided in SJAS + run alongside the students’ subject selections and do not impact their selected courses of study.
