Business and Community Education

The Faculty of Business and Community Education is committed to providing a focus on general education. This approach reinforces the belief that a broad educational element complements more specialised training, giving our graduates the flexibility required to take on the challenges of a demanding career. Four schools, each with a specific focus, are represented within the faculty:

This school is supported by the Indigenous community and operates in partnership with a Community Advisory Council, with representation from industry, government departments and organisations in the community, and support and advice from community Elders.

Central to the school’s mission is to provide an encouraging environment for students to reach their goals in vocational training and education.
