Vocational Education & Training
A range of Vocational and Education Training (VET) opportunities are available to students at our school. Some of these are school-based programs while other opportunities exist for students to tailor a program to meet their individual career aspirations.
In most cases, VET programs count toward the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).
A vocational pathway allows students to:
- study an accredited course
- earn secondary graduation
- gain entry to a State Training Provider (formerly TAFE College)
- participate in Workplace Learning
- develop work-related skills
- complete a Worksafe Certificate
- earn credit for future training (if recognised units of competence provide exemption when passed)
VET students have the opportunity to participate in:
Pre-Apprenticeship in Schools (PAIS) - a head start on gaining an apprenticeship while still at school
School Based Traineeship - students become employees and are paid a training wage while completing a Certificate II in their industry area and earning secondary graduation
