Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Cornelius.

Level 2 Future Pathways & Gateway

A one year course for students looking to gain some work experience in a chosen career area.  It offers students the opportunity to experience and undertake learning and assessment in the workplace and at school. 


Students attend a workplace related to their career choice one day a week, usually in Terms 2 and 3 for 5-10 weeks. Priority will be given to students with a good attitude and attendance as well as completion of course work. The year also includes CV preparation, interview techniques, career path planning, job search skills, workplace first aid, and other life skills. Students will be assessed at school and in some cases, in their workplace.  


Assessment for this course contains level 2 credits.  Students must be prepared to attempt ALL standards. Students should be working towards gaining their drivers license during this course, if they have not already gained it.

This course leads on to 13 Gateway.

Entry Criteria

Students wishing to apply for Future Pathways & Gateway must select their 6 subjects and then request an exemption.  They must then complete an application form, which will then be followed by an interview. 


This subject is on a vocational pathway that does not lead to a University Approved subject in Year 13 and there are restrictions on the number of non-UE pathway courses a student can take.

This is a limited entry course.

Limited Entry Courses: While Westlake endevours to provide all students with their first choices, in some courses there are limits for specialist staffing and/or rooming and equipment reasons. When student numbers exceed these limits students places will be determined by ballot. When students have selected more than one limited entry course, we will aim to place students in at least one of these courses. Students who have taken the subject in the previous year will have priority entry.




Equipment/Stationery and Course Costs

This course makes significant use of digital learning material at various times during the year. It is an advantage for a student to have a laptop during these times. Some learning activities, including assessments, will not be able to be completed without a laptop.
