We all want this pathway for ourselves and for our children but sometimes the winding pathway is better, sometimes, the winding pathway is and necessary.

??????????? So many questions. So many choices. What is the best thing to do?

Discuss the best pathways for yourself or your children with teachers and others who understand the Victorian education system. My child is 17 but has missed a lot of school. What do you suggest? TAFE is probably better for your child. There are many very good courses at TAFE for students who are 16, 17or 18 and have missed out on a lot of schooling.

Be Realistic Choose courses and pathways which will bring success Don’t waste time with unrealistic pathways. If you do this, you or your child will only jump from one course of study to another and waste a lot of time. Listen to teachers and others who know the Victorian education system. They will give you good advice. Realistic Choices

Good Job

Good Life

The path of life is never straight for anyone. The best pathway in education is the one which starts from where YOU are NOW and leads you to somewhere BETTER. The best pathway for you or your child may be different from that of someone born in Australia. The best pathway for you or your child may also be different from the pathway of other members of your community. HOWEVER, the most important thing is reaching your destination successfully: and maybe the Winding Pathway will help you achieve this.
