CHESS Consortium

The Community, Health and Education Support Services (CHESS) Consortium at Sevenoaks Senior College was established in 2024 to support our Community Services and Health Pathways. The Consortium is modelled on our highly successful TEC Consortium.

The College and partners are working collaboratively to:

  • engage student interest and exploration of potential careers within the Community Services, Education and Health related industries,
  • develop students’ technical and soft skills, attitude and work ethic to the standards required by our partner companies, and
  • expose students to the partner organisations as potential employers.

Initial CHESS Consortium partners include:

  • A.M.A Training Services
  • Joseph Banks Aged Care Facility
  • Great Beginnings Beckenham
  • Buggles Childcare Beckenham
  • Jardine Pharmacy
  • Carson Street School

The Consortium is being established to:

  • support the placement of students in Workplace Learning
  • provided student tours of their facilities
  • delivered employer and pathway presentations to students
  • provided teacher tours to enhance teachers understanding of current industry standards, engaging teachers across learning areas to provide real life contexts for their teaching and training programs
  • provided teacher placement in partner organisations to enhance teachers’ industry currency

We are keen to engage with industry to ensure our students are ready for your workforce. If you are interested in joining our CHESS Consortium, please contact our Relationships and Partnerships Coordinator, Mr Gary Hicklin, by email at gary.hicklin@education.wa.edu.au or call us on 6235 7200.
