LifeSkills Express
This person-centred program is designed to deliver learning and skills development in a holistic, experiential manner, focusing on strengths rather than limitations.
It provides a blend of life and independent living skills interspersed with the personal tools
needed to encourage self-reliance, enable the realisation of individual capacities and
potential, and fulfil the needs and aspirations of each individual to achieve valued roles
in the community.
Funded for eligible students by the NSW Government through Community Obligation Funding (CSO),
LifeSkills Express aims to:
-
build skills in a range of areas to enable participants to take significant steps towards independence, further study and, potentially, volunteering and employment.
-
support the continuing growth and development of Language, Literacy & Numeracy as well as digital technology skills
-
build self-confidence through practical, creative and engaging activities that will provide challenges as well as fun and enjoyment.
-
provide enterprising opportunities leading to participants becoming more engaged in their community.
The LifeSkills Express program is, wherever possible, designed to allow for a full days participation. Enrolment into both sessions is encouraged to facilitate important social interactions, connection and new friendships over lunch. However enrolment into the morning or afternoon sessions individually may be possible, depending on the program. Please contact the college to discuss.

Speaking Up & Speaking Out
Create - Concentrate - Communicate
Afternoon session - 1:00pm - 3:30pm
Do you have a unique story to tell? Sometimes we just need some help telling it. Or do you have an opinion or viewpoint on something and have trouble sharing it?
It can be difficult to talk about ourselves or our own lives or opinions but we almost all reminisce about times past, about our own lived experiences. Reminiscing helps us organise the memories of our lives into stories. Stating our opinions helps others to learn and to see things from someone elses prespective.
We would like to help you to learn to speak up and speak out about the things that matter to you most.
Students will be supported to complete the following unit of competency:
FSKOCM003 Participate in familiar spoken interactions at work
