Marcellin Campus FAQ

Marcellin is a co-educational Catholic Senior Secondary campus of Cardijn College specialising in the delivery of the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) alongside a trade/vocational training program.

We specialise in developing programs for students who wish to complete their SACE while working toward an Australian School-based Apprenticeship/Traineeship (ASbA/SbAT) and completion of their apprenticeship/traineeship post school.

• Students who are passionate about gaining a trade qualification alongside their SACE
• Students who want to study and gain skills in an environment that is designed to build their skills and ensure that they are work ready before they finish school
• Students who are looking for an adult-style learning environment, while still experiencing the support and pastoral care offered at a Catholic school

In 2023, 89% of our graduating class commenced School-based apprenticeships while the remainder transitioned to the workforce. 100% of the Class of 2023 graduated with their SACE.

Our program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to secure a School-based Apprenticeship through their extensive work placement program where students effectively demonstrate their employability skills and already-established skills and knowledge as gained through our programs.

Marcellin Campus will prepare and assist students to achieve a School-based Apprenticeship through our programs, training, work placement program and industry visits.

Experience shows that our program gives students the advantage they need to obtain an apprenticeship, but we don't give them an apprenticeship.

Marcellin strives to create a rich and diverse education and training environment, which focuses on developing the whole person. We offer a comprehensive mentoring program which supports our students as they transition to the world of work.

We seek to create an environment where everyone feels respected and co-responsible. We are committed to developing a community where each individual student is affirmed in an environment of mutual support and encouragement. Marcellin values positive relationships and partnerships between the Campus, the home and the workplace.

Our unique program makes it possible for students to commence their trade or vocational training in their area of interest, gain employment and be paid while still at school completing their formal secondary education. Our program gives students a head start into their chosen career while at the same time completing their SACE.

Our commitment to provide training extends beyond the school years and into an apprenticeship once the SACE is completed. Continuing the apprenticeship training with Marcellin post school is another unique factor that sets Marcellin apart from any other school.
