VCAL – the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning – gives students a head start into their careers.

Congratulations to the successful Aitken College VCAL graduates from 2019 who have either entered full time employment, are continuing with their studies or gained an apprenticeship.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme is part of the program for Year 11 and Year 12 VCAL students. The Award is an internationally recognised and valued program that encourages and empowers young people to engage with their community, explore their potential and challenge themselves to achieve personal excellence. The Award provides opportunities for young people to develop into mature, active citizens who will positively contribute towards society.

Congratulations to the Year 12 students who received the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. Congratulations also to the Year 11 and Year 12 students who were awarded their Bronze Award.

Last week, the current Year 12 students attended the Student Learning Conference at the Hyatt Hotel in Essendon Fields, focusing on individual as well as team goals and projects.
