Learning Options Horticulture course

Canberra Institute of Technology  (CIT) Horticulture, is offering places for students in the Learning Options Horticulture course at Bruce campus.

We have positions available for students who have horticulture as their interest, who would like to join our CIT Learning Options Program here at Bruce campus, this year.  This course is for students with disabilities. We have a general requirement that students can work fairly independently, and participate within a group with some basic computer awareness skills.

The course is on every Monday between 9.30 – 3.00.during term time. Students participate in practical, hands on horticulture in the morning session. The afternoon program comprises literacy/numeracy fun with horticulture, as the focus. Our students engage in life skills learning, teamwork, and are supported by staff. I will enclose our Flyer for  distribution to staff and clients.
