GET VET!
Vocational Education and Training (VET) allows a student to complete nationally recognised training as a part of their Year 10, VCE or VCE VM program – just like any other subject!
VET qualifications provide industry exposure and experience in the workplace reinforcing skill development. There’s a wide variety of VCE VET courses available; some are offered on site at SHC, and others are external to the school and the students attend a TAFE.
At SHC we currently offer five VCE VET certificate courses on campus – Animal Care, Automotive, Construction Pathways, Cookery (scored) and Sport and Recreation (scored) with an additional two usually included – Business and Horticulture.
Students who include a VET as part of their program at SHC are always excited to share their experiences and participate in everything a VET has to offer. Choosing a VET is one of the best things a student can do when selecting their subjects.
This week I dropped into the Year 1 Certificate II in Animal Care VET class and was lucky enough to have Maggie and Peanut (the animal’s names, not the students!) pose for a quick picture.
There will be plenty more photos of our VET students in future newsletters too, showing us what they do and how they GET VET!
Please contact Helen Campbell - VAL Leader/VET Coordinator at the College, for further information about VETDSS and how a VET might enhance your student’s learning experience.
