Vocational Education and TVET
Many students currently enrolled at our school are undertaking School Based Traineeships and Apprenticeships. From Year 9 onwards students can work towards gaining qualifications which will enable them to eventually work in areas like: Construction, Hospitality, Information Technology, Sports Coaching, Metals Engineering, Retail Services, Nursing, Digital Design, Automotive Industry, Telecommunications, Animal Husbandry, Administration and Hairdressing.
These courses complement the NSW BOSTES curriculum and enhance it, allowing Matraville Sports High School students to gain qualifications and work experience which will help them obtain employment, TAFE entry, and University entry in the future.
Certain School and TAFE based VET (Vocational Education and Training) subjects can be used towards the calculation of an ATAR.
Virtual Learning
Matraville SHS staff use Edmodo and Google Class to provide work for students online. Please ask your individual teachers which platform they choose to use.
After-school Homework Centre
Together with University of NSW (UNSW) Education students, Matraville Sports High School runs an after-school homework centre on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons until 4pm. Students receive assistance with their homework, including upcoming assessment tasks.
The Homework Centre is a great opportunity for students to spend quality time on their homework in an environment that is supportive and friendly.
