- provide an opportunity to meet different people
- enable you to develop new skills and abilities
- provide further credit for your package (up to 2 units in a T package.)
You are encouraged to include at least one registered unit in your study package whilst at College. R units are offered within the curriculum on either Thursday afternoons, during normal class time or out of normal school hours.
The R units offered vary from year to year depending on staffing requirements within the College and student demand. The R Unit Program offers you an opportunity to undertake a wide range of interesting programs that you would not normally get a chance to experience. We encourage you to look carefully at these units.
