Strengthening Pathways and Exit Credential Transcript
Over many years and countless conversations and meetings with tertiary education providers and industry leaders, it became evident that employers were looking for more than just a strong academic record from prospective employees. Time and time again, high level attendance, Duke of Edinburgh award recipients, demonstrated leadership, public speaking, involvement in charity/voluntary work, Gazelle Project Management skills, participation in sport, cultural engagement, part-time employment, mentoring and coaching others and engagement in activities outside of school were all very highly valued. These requirements became known at Plumpton High School as Exit Credentials.
The Exit Credential Transcript is an annual and official document presented to every student from Year 7 to Year 12 outlining their efforts and contributions at Plumpton High School within the Strengthening Pathways Framework. It is a record, that is tracked out of the Futures Centre, and gives every student the opportunity to create their personal brand. What is included in an Exit Credential is entirely within the power of the individual to customise to their strengths and interests. By the completion of Year 12, every student will have 6 Exit Credential Transcripts to present to prospective employees, to use in scholarship applications and to include in University entry processes.
