Thank you so much. We have had a difficult 18 months as far as my son's academic education has gone, however, during this time, he has been maturing into a delightful, wiser and more independent young man. Attending the Parent Info talk tonight was a great insight and I really appreciate the emphasis on communication with parents. His active engagement already with college has been the ‘icing on the cake’. It is such a relief to know he is somewhere that shares our family values and will give him purpose, somewhere he can relax, (with drive and ambition), and be himself. He...

Dear Brad, My name is Sue, I’m a parent of a graduating year 12 student at AITC based on the Gold Coast Campus.  I wanted to write and congratulate you on hiring such inspirational, friendly, professional individuals like David Leitch. I’ll be honest with you, I’m not the easiest person to deal with when I’m not happy, I have high expectations and will hold you accountable for every promise or statistic you’ve ever said.  When I found out that my son* hadn’t been signed up with an apprenticeship but had finished his schooling, I was a bit unhappy.   I made an appointment...

As a parent of a student at the college I can’t recommend it highly enough. Dedicated people who do an amazing job in bringing the best out of every young person who walks through the door. Like so many other young people today my son had completely lost direction and interest at school. He’s in year 12 now, has already secured his apprenticeship as a Plumber and will also finish the year with a Cert 3 in business management and a string of other trade certificates. He actually enjoys going to school now , couldn’t be happier

Hi Lee, Just a quick note. Michelle and I are so amazed at Dylan’s turnaround this year since he enrolled at the college. Remember how his grades were on a downward trend at his previous school? Well, just a couple of weeks back he proudly texted us a photo of his first term Maths Report – an ‘A’. What a success story. Dylan has really engaged with the college. We’ve seen a massive upturn in positive, productive decisions, who he hangs with (or chooses not to) and his overall behavior. I regularly ask Dylan how he is going at the...

I am a brand new parent to the AITC system. My son will be starting year 10 with you in January of 2019. I am writing to put on record my thanks and gratitude for the work of one of your staff, Elaine Makepeace. My son is a wonderful kid who has always received excellent reports on his social skills, behaviour, engagement and attitude, but who also has dyslexia (more specifically, dyscalculia) and has experienced a gradual erosion of his academic confidence as a result. When I flagged this diagnosis on the application, Elaine contacted me and offered to meet...
