Save StudentWorks

Eligibility - Tasmania citizens

Principal Petitioner:

Heidi Heck
Elizabeth Street
North Hobart

Sponsor: Ms Michelle O'Byrne

Posting Date: 11/11/2022

Closing Date: 24/11/2022

Tabled Date: 24/11/2022

Responded Minister: Minister for Education, Children and Youth on 28/3/2023

323 Signatures
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Assembly (Tasmania)

The petition of the undersigned Citizens of Tasmania draws to the attention of the House:

  • That StudentWorks in Launceston has been a valuable learning institution for over 40 years.
  • That under its current model StudentWorks has provided a vocational pathway for many students for whom the traditional school environment is unsuitable.
  • The Government intends to reshape the facility into a T4 hybrid program meaning the valuable vocational educational pathways will be lost.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to call upon the Government to abandon its plan to effectively cease StudentWorks operation and reinvest in this vital learning pathway for young people.
