What is STEP?
STEP — the Southbank Tertiary Entrance Program — offers units that build toward a diploma qualification, and is designed for school students beginning Year 11 in 2012.
Over two years (Years 11–12) students are offered an on-campus experience, attending class and/or sharing facilities with Southbank Institute of Technology's full-time and part-time students. STEP students will be required on campus for up to 8 hours each week.
Following Year 12, STEP students will have the opportunity to complete the entire diploma program with confirmed entry and credit into the diploma they have been studying.
