JAY: Manea Senior College has helped me direct my full attention towards my dance career, while also giving me the flexibility to study and complete my Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management.

EMILY: Moving to Manea during high school was a great decision. This school provides enormous opportunities for every individual and supports them through everything they are willing to be a part of. Two years that I have spent in Manea were filled with different events and great memories (some of the events included Wear It Purple Day, Are u OK Day and many others). If you study hard and do the best you can, you’ll get multiple benefits, from attending a free lunch for 100% attendance to having the benefit of permission to have study at ECU and to being a part of the AAA group (which celebrates the students who have the highest results from the whole cohort). Manea teachers are willing to help when you need it, often sacrificing a lot of their time, staying after school and helping out with the homework. It does not matter which pathway you choose, VET or ATAR, Manea team will do the best for your studies and achievements. It was a great time and period of my life. Thank you to all of the college team.
