The Secondary Tertiary Alignment Resource (STAR) provides all state secondary schools with additional funding to access courses that provide greater opportunities for students. The objective of STAR is to enable schools to better meet the needs of students by personalising learning pathways and facilitating a smooth transition to the workplace or further study. Through a school based STAR Policy the resource can be made available to all students. The amount per school is calculated on the senior student roll. (MoE, 2008)
