To apply for NETschool, applicants must be experiencing significant difficulties with mainstream schooling. This may be due to a variety of factors, for example –
- they may be experiencing ongoing mental or physical health issues.
- they may have barriers to school related to bullying or poor relationships.
- they may be experiencing ongoing family issues / trauma.
- they may have a history of non-attendance, poor transition or trauma.
- they may be expecting a baby or be a young parent.
How to apply?
NETschool is by application and places are limited. To express interest in applying, please phone NETschool directly or email admin@bssc.edu.au with the subject ‘Attention NETschool.’
Following an initial discussion, an interview and tour can then be scheduled. To progress to the waitlist, prospective learners will need to complete at least one half day experience session (trial) at NETschool in a group setting. NETschool has rolling enrolments and learners commence at any time during the school year, once a place is available.
Current Bendigo Senior Secondary College students can speak to their Student Coordinator about the possibility of transferring to the NETschool campus.
