Ara Dual Enrolment Progrmmes
By gaining industry-based skills at Ara, you can move ahead faster into higher-level study, an
apprenticeship or employment.
As a dual enrolment student, you can be enrolled at secondary school and Ara at the same time.
For the duration of the school year, you’ll spend one to two days per week at Ara, and the rest of
the week at school with your friends doing your normal school activities. You’ll have access to
both school and tertiary support services, which helps with a smoother transition into the
workplace or education beyond school.
Dual Enrolment programmes are delivered in a variety of flexible ways that can be negotiated
with your school to best meet your needs. Even better, they’re free if you are in Years 11, 12 or 13.
