Student Achievements
All Saints' College Students VET Achievements
It's with immense pride that we acknowledge the outstanding achievements of our Class of 2023 in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) domain. The commitment and dedication of these students have not only earned them valuable qualifications but have also opened doors to various future pathways.
A total of 51 students excelled in their VET pursuits:
- Certificate IV – 14 students (Business, School-based Education Support, Preparation for Health and Nursing, Science)
- Certificate III – 20 Students (Applied Language, Aviation (Cabin Crew), Business, Event Management, Screen and Media)
- Certificate II – 17 Students (Hospitality, Sport Coaching, Local Government, Retail Services)
These figures include ATAR students who concurrently completed a VET qualification.
Many of our Year 12 students have gained direct entry to university as a result of their Certificate IV achievement. Among them are Cooper Hawley and Zipporah Fish who, having achieved University entry for 2024 by completing Certificate IV, spent their holidays making a positive impact at Gecko Sports running sporting clinics for children in the community. Both hope to become Health and Physical Education teachers in the future.
We eagerly anticipate further updates on the remarkable journeys of our 2023 VET graduates, confident that their accomplishments are just the beginning of many more to come. Congratulations to all these bright minds on their well-deserved success!
