My favourite aspect of AIT was just how relevant and helpful it was especially in our modern society where we rely on technology in just about every aspect of our lives. It is so important to have digital literacy especially if you are going to embark in the Commerce or IT field. Alyssa Young – Graduate

There are so many topics that we learnt that I could easily relate to the current digital world we live in. AIT allowed me to learn valuable skills that I can apply to future situations. The lessons were always a lot of fun and I always looked forward to class every day. It does not actually matter if you have not done IT in lower school. I was one of the students who did not do IT in lower school but was able to achieve high marks in the subject. AIT ended up being one of my top scoring ATAR subjects. Grace Chilcott – Graduate
